Arizona officially began preseason practice on Monday in preparation for the 2025-26 campaign, its second in the Big 12 Conference. And now it actually knows when and where all of its league games will be played. Sort of.

The Big 12 released the full conference schedule on Tuesday, though without tip times and TV info as the league continues to finalize that info with its many broadcast partners. The conference has contracts with ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC and TNT, not to mention their streaming services.

The UA opens Big 12 play Jan. 3 at Utah, making its first trip to Salt Lake City since the Pac-12 days. The Wildcats’ conference home opener is Jan. 6 against Kansas State, which will be making its first visit to McKale Center as a Big 12 opponent.

Arizona will play home-and-home series with ASU, BYU and Kansas, with the Jayhawks making their first trip to McKale since 2008 on Feb. 28. Other Big 12 teams making their first league trip to Tucson include Cincinnati (Jan. 21), West Virginia (Jan. 24) and Oklahoma State (Feb. 7).

The UA will play for the first time in Big 12 play at TCU (Jan. 10), UCF (Jan. 17) and Houston (Feb. 21).

Arizona will play 10 of its 18 conference games on Saturday, with eight on weeknights. Four of those are on Wednesday, three get the Big Monday treatment and one will be on Tuesday.

The first chance to see the 2025-26 Wildcats comes Oct. 3 for the Red-Blue Showcase intrasquad game, one of 20 appearances at McKale Center.
