Five Big 12 football games in 2024 have been moved to Friday nights, according to announcements this week from the schools involved.
The Arizona Wildcats at Kansas State Wildcats football game, which was previously announced as Sept. 13 or 14, will be played on Friday, Sept. 13 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan.
Although Arizona joins the Big 12 Conference this season, the matchup was scheduled back in 2015 and will be considered a non-conference contest.

Below are the five Big 12 contests that were moved to Friday nights this week:
- Arizona at Kansas State – Sept. 13
- Houston at TCU – Oct. 4
- Utah at Arizona State – Oct. 11
- Oklahoma State at BYU – Oct. 18
- Houston at Arizona – Nov. 15
Four games involving Big 12 teams in 2024 were previously set for Fridays and are listed below:
- TCU at Stanford – Aug. 30
- BYU at SMU – Sept. 6
- Oklahoma State at Colorado – Nov. 29
- Utah at UCF – Nov. 29
Wonder if any of these games will be part of Fox’s new Friday Night Games? Or are will they be part of ESPN’s long running Friday night slate. They do seem to fall mostly on Fridays when the ACC was not already scheduled.
Big 12 have a favorable chance to be on FOX Friday evening College Football.
Big Ten Fan would like to see Big 12 & Mountain West to be included to FOX Friday evening schedule.
As a Michigan Wolverines Fan I would like to see them just one Friday evening game & give others opportunity too.
