Highlights from BYU’s 2025-26 Big 12 schedule
The Cougars landed a solid haul for their three home and away matchups:

Texas Tech reached the Elite Eight this past season and boasts the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year in JT Toppin, with the Red Raiders visiting Provo for the regular season finale.
Arizona finished the year ranked No. 15 and has the No. 3-rated incoming recruiting class in the country, according to 247 Sports. Additionally, the most recent meeting between the Wildcats and Cougars resulted in a wild 96-95 BYU victory in Tuscon as one of the season’s most exciting affairs.
A new chapter in the historic BYU-Utah rivalry will begin as Alex Jensen takes the helm of the Runnin’ Utes, adding more intrigue to the already intense matchups in both Salt Lake City and Provo — although the two teams will face off twice within a two week stretch in January rather than ending the season against one another.
While BYU won’t play Kansas twice during the regular season, the Cougars’ Jan. 31 trip to Phog Allen Fieldhouse will still carry plenty of weight. BYU did win there in 2024 under Mark Pope, and the matchup between AJ Dybantsa and Jayhawks point guard Darryn Peterson — widely viewed as Dybantsa’s top competition to become the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft — will be must-see TV.
BYU also welcomes Houston back to the Marriott Center on Feb. 7 following a run to the national championship game, along with Iowa State on Feb. 21 after defeating the Cyclones in a pair of crazy contests last year.
Former Cougar Tanner Toolson will make his return to Provo as a member of TCU on Jan. 14, and BYU’s remaining three Big 12 home opponents — Arizona State, Colorado and UCF — each just finished in the bottom quarter of the conference standings.
For their remaining road games, the Cougars will make their first trips to Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma State since 2024. BYU will also travel to Cincinnati, where the Cougars lost last year, as well as West Virginia, where they’ve won in each of the past two seasons.
