The Pac-12 Conference has announced the home kickoff times and TV schedule for Oregon State and Washington State, which features 13 games across CBS, The CW, and ESPN.
For the second consecutive season, the Pac-12 will consist of only two teams following the departure of 10 schools last year. The conference will expand to seven football members in 2026, while the eighth team remains undetermined.
In addition to announcing the TV networks for Pac-12 home games in 2025, the league also revealed the kickoff time for all 13 contests.
“Having Pac-12 football featured across three leading broadcasters in CBS, The CW and ESPN in 2025 will provide tremendous exposure to showcase Oregon State, Washington State and our brand in the Pac-12’s final season before expansion,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with The CW, to welcome a new partner in CBS Sports and to see a return of Pac-12 football on ESPN.”
Oregon State’s home schedule in 2025 begins on Saturday, Aug. 30 against the California Golden Bears. The game will be televised by ESPN at 10:30pm ET / 7:30pm PT.
Washington State will kickoff its campaign the same day at home against the Idaho Vandals. That matchup is up first on The CW at 10:00pm ET / 7:00pm PT.
One additional game is slated for ESPN this season, and it features Oregon State hosting the Houston Cougars on Friday, Sept. 26 at 10:30pm ET / 7:30pm PT. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27.
Two Pac-12 games this fall are slated for CBS and Paramount+. Washington State will host rival Washington in the Apple Cup on Sept. 20 (7:30pm or 8:00pm ET), and then Oregon State will host Washington State on Nov. 1 (7:30pm or 8:00pm ET).

“We are excited to see Cougar Football return to the CW Network for the 2025 season as well as having CBS broadcast the Apple Cup in Pullman,” said WSU Director of Athletics Anne McCoy. “The 2024 season, our first on The CW, resulted in expanded national exposure for the Pac-12 and tremendous ratings for WSU Football. Building on last year’s partnership and adding CBS to our home broadcast schedule ensures Cougar fans everywhere will be able to follow their favorite team. Additionally, having all of our home game times set months in advance of the season starting is a tremendous plus for our fans, who are now able to make their plans early for Cougar Football Weekends in Pullman. See you this fall.”
Below is more on the future of Pac-12 media rights:
While today’s announcement solidifies the Pac-12’s 2025 media rights partnerships for Oregon State and Washington State, the league and its exclusive media rights advisor, Octagon, continue the conference’s transformational process to finalize its future media rights partnerships for the new Pac-12 beginning in 2026. Octagon served as advisor for the Pac-12’s 2025 media rights agreements.
Oregon State and Washington State are currently operating as members of the Pac-12 Conference as part of a NCAA two-year grace period and will continue to do so for the 2025-26 academic season prior to new members officially joining beginning with the 2026-27 season. All current and incoming members will continue to collaboratively chart additional membership as well as other business matters and future conference considerations.
I am a fan two CBS evening games with Apple Cup Washington at Washington State & Washington State at Oregon State 11/1.
Apple Cup Washington at Washington State 9/20.
Hopefully this means that soon we´ll hear about the media deal for 2026 and beyond and who their final member(s) will be.
Same here Go Boise State!!!
I’m hope the Beavs and Coogs have applied for an NCAA exemption so they can contest a Pac-2 title game if they split the in-season home-&-home.
I hope or I’m hoping ….
& where should they play it if they do
Vancouver.
Capturing Canadian interest in college football would be good brand-building.
Montreal would make an excellent future neutral site for CFB regular season game with My Michigan Wolverines & Alabama Crimson Tide they will make fantastic opponents.
You sure this isn’t a cover-up or sneak peak for the 2026 media rights deal
I really would like CBS do PAC 12 Football games with most of them on CBSSN & put a few on regular TV primary in evening time slot would make a fantastic Big Ten/PAC 12 doubleheader with Penn State at Michigan at 3:30PM follow by Washington State at Boise State at 7:30PM or 8:00PM.
