UNITED STATES, JUN 23 – The five-year CBS deal starting in 2026 includes at least three football and basketball games per season and ensures media stability as the Pac-12 rebuilds with new members.
- The Pac-12 finalized a media-rights agreement with CBS Sports on Monday to broadcast football and men's basketball games starting next season.

- CBS will air a minimum of three football and men's basketball contests during each regular season, in addition to the championship matches, while maintaining steady coverage on CBS Sports Network.
- Commissioner Teresa Gould called the agreement a transformational partnership that supports Pac-12's growth as a remodeled league starting in 2026-27.
- The Pac-12 must add an eighth football-playing member by July 1 to qualify for the College Football Playoff, with Texas State favored to join before its exit fee from the Sun Belt increases.
