Big 12 reveals 2025-26 basketball schedule matrix featuring tough Colorado opponents
The Big 12 announced the conference scheduling matrix for the 2025-26 men's basketball season Thursday morning.
For the upcoming season, each program will have a home-and-home series with three conference opponents and face the other 12 Big 12 teams once, with six games at home and six on the road, for an 18-game Big 12 schedule, which is two fewer than last year.
The matrix produces the most balanced schedule, taking into account both travel and competitiveness. A schedule with dates and times will be announced closer to the start of the regular season.
Seven of Colorado's nine home opponents were postseason teams in 2024-25. The Buffs will host top programs like Arizona and Kansas a single time, while Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU and UCF will also make the trek to Boulder.
Colorado's home-and-home series opponents will be Arizona State, Utah and Texas Tech, who were Elite Eight participants last season.
The Buffs have some challenging Big 12 road games this year, traveling to BYU, who have the No. 1 overall recruit A.J. Dybansta and NCAA runner-up Houston. Single away games against Cincinnati, Baylor, West Virginia and Iowa State are also on the schedule.
