Big 12 announces game times, TV designations for Week 12

The Big 12 on Monday released the television schedules and networks for the slate of games on Nov. 20 — Week 12 of Big 12 football action — which will kick off as early as Saturday afternoon.

The time of opening kickoff, as well as the networks on which each game will be broadcasted, is listed below in order of start time. Times are displayed in Eastern Standard Time.

Iowa State at Oklahoma, 12:00 p.m. on FOX

The Oklahoma Sooners have back-to-back tough Big 12 tests, each of which could be candidates to put Lincoln Riley’s undefeated, 9-0 season in jeopardy. First, Oklahoma will travel to Waco, Texas to face the No. 18 Baylor Bears; the week after, a challenge against Iowa State could creep up on the Sooners.

Texas at West Virginia, 12:00 p.m. on ESPN2

Texas suffered its fourth straight loss on Saturday, this one coming after yet another blown lead. Steve Sarkisian has a chance to get things back on track with three of the weaker Big 12 teams on schedule; the Longhorns will host the Kansas Jayhawks before traveling to West Virginia to face the Mountaineers.

Kansas at TCU, 4:00 p.m. on Big 12 Now (ESPN+)

Kansas, now 1-8, is still in pursuit of its first Big 12 win since 2019, and Lance Leipold has back-to-back opportunities to change that narrative. The only issue, however, is that the Jayhawks will travel to two-straight Big 12 schools with rambunctious home atmospheres; first, they travel to Texas, then the week after, they travel to TCU.

Baylor at Kansas State, 5:30 p.m. on FS1

Baylor, No. 18 in the country, his having a great season in Dave Aranda’s second at the helm, but they have their biggest task to-date this week: a home Big 12 matchup with No. 4 Oklahoma. After that, the Bears head to Kansas State for a lighter contest.

Oklahoma State at Texas Tech, 8:00 p.m. on FOX

Oklahoma State has climbed into the AP top 10 once again. The Cowboys will finish with three Big 12 contests, and although they won’t overlook TCU and Texas Tech, Mike Gundy’s real focus lies in the final week, when Oklahoma State hosts undefeated Oklahoma.
