During its 20-game league schedule, BYU will appear on linear television 13 times. That’s an increase from six appearances on linear television in BYU’s first year in the Big 12 last season.

The Big 12 increased its league schedule from 18 games to 20 as four new programs (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah) joined the conference.

Still, this increase in TV games highlights the growing interest in BYU basketball, which is entering its first season under head coach Kevin Young.

Along with tip times for Big 12 matchups, the rest of BYU’s schedule received TV info and tip times. All but one game on BYU’s 2024-25 schedule has a tip time and TV info set. The lone absence is the November 16 nonconference matchup against Idaho.
