USA Network’s 22-game schedule has multiple games from each school in the newly formed Pac-12, with at least one home game for each club. Oregon State will have six games on the station (the most of any Pac-12 team) this year. In contrast, Boise State, which won its third consecutive conference championship in 2025 and reached the College Football Playoff the year prior, and Washington State get five games on USA Network. USA Network will broadcast every game between these three programs, including Washington State-Oregon State in Week 7 (October 17), Boise State-Washington State in Week 8 (October 24), & Oregon State-Boise State in Week 11 (November 14).

A noticeable feature of USA Network’s 2026 Pac-12 football coverage is a regular kickoff time for doubleheader games — 6:00 PM ET and 9:30 PM ET. 17 of their 22 games will be slotted in these two time windows. In the final week of the regular season, USA Sports will have two FLEX matchups from the Pac-12’s home-and-home format on Saturday, November 28, allowing USA to televise games that will hopefully have some meaning to them when the time comes. Additionally, the USA Network will have first pick during this week. These Week 13 USA games will be determined after the Week 12 slate.

“We can’t wait to kick off USA Sports’ inaugural season of Pac-12 coverage this fall on USA Network,” said Mariel Brady, VP, Programming, USA Sports. “Our 2026 Pac-12 schedule features an incredibly strong intraconference slate and top-tier matchups throughout the season’s stretch run, punctuated by the first pick of Week 13’s flex scheduling.”

The season begins on USA Network with a non-conference double dip on Saturday, September 5, as Colorado State, in Jim Mora’s debut as head coach of the Rams, hosts their rival Wyoming in the Border War duel for the Bronze Boot at 6:00 PM ET, followed by Portland State-San Diego State at 9:30 PM ET.

The early-season non-conference game lineup on USA Network includes Boise State hosting Memphis in a Week 2 clash on Saturday, September 12, at 6:00 PM ET and Texas State going up against North Texas, who finished the 2025 season with a 12-2 record and were ranked No. 24 in the final AP Top 25 poll, in Week 3 (Saturday, September 19) at 12:00 PM ET.

On Saturday, September 19, during Week 3, USA Network will deliver an extensive lineup of sports programming, featuring three Pac-12 games, early-morning Premier League coverage, and live NASCAR Cup Series coverage from Bristol Motor Speedway. After the Premier League broadcast, the game between North Texas and Texas State will commence at 12:00 PM ET. This will be succeeded by the matchup between Duquesne and Washington State at 3:30 PM ET, while the day will conclude with the game featuring Montana at Oregon State at 11:00 PM ET, following the NASCAR night race in Bristol.

The Pac-12 conference schedule kicks off in Week 5, with USA Network presenting a Saturday primetime doubleheader on October 3, featuring Oregon State vs. Colorado State at 6:00 PM ET and Fresno State vs. Washington State at 9:30 PM ET.

In Week 7, two legacy Pac-12 members face off on USA Network as Washington State visits Oregon State on Saturday, October 17 at 6:00 PM ET.

USA Network will have the rights to four in-conference Boise State games, including at Washington State (Saturday, October 24 at 6:00 PM ET), and three consecutive late-season matchups at Colorado State (Saturday, November 7), and home games vs. Oregon State (Saturday, November 14) and San Diego State (Saturday, November 21).

More information about USA Sports’ studio and game commentators for Pac-12 football will be announced later in the summer.
