Agreement with Pac-12 is First Media Rights Deal for USA Sports Since Official Announcement as New Brand and Division Name for VERSANT's Sports Portfolio Across USA Network and Golf Channel

STAMFORD, Conn. - November 13, 2025 - USA Sports and the Pac-12 Conference today announced a five-year partnership beginning in 2026-27, featuring regular season action for football, men's basketball and women's basketball, plus the league's men's basketball tournament live on USA Network.

As part of the long-term partnership which runs through the 2030-31 season, USA Network will annually present more than 80 games for the new Pac-12, including:

· 22 regular season football games

· 50 regular season men's basketball games, as well as tournament rounds leading up to the championship game

· 5-10 regular season women's basketball games

"USA Sports is proud to partner with the new Pac-12 and showcase the league to a national audience on USA Network," said Matt Hong, President of USA Sports. "Our partnership further establishes USA Network as a destination for all sports fans, with weekends packed with Pac-12 football doubleheaders and men's and women's basketball double- and triple-headers beginning next fall."

"The new Pac-12 is where tradition meets transformation - a unique opportunity in the rapidly-evolving college sports landscape that strongly aligns with the go-forward vision of USA Sports," said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. "We are thrilled to launch this partnership with the USA Sports team and leverage our shared vision to build something unique and special."

This marks USA Sports' first media rights partnership since being announced as the new brand and division name for VERSANT's sports portfolio across USA Network and Golf Channel earlier this week.

Since August, USA Sports and VERSANT have announced new media rights agreements with the WNBA, the United States Golf Association (USGA), and League One Volleyball (LOVB). The Pac-12 joins USA Network's current college sports programming highlighted by A-10 men's and women's basketball.

Pac-12 Enterprises, the broadcast production arm of the conference, will produce all 80-plus football, men's basketball and women's basketball games on USA Network in partnership with USA Sports.

The new Pac-12 will officially launch beginning with the 2026-27 season and will feature Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Washington State.

Oregon State and Washington State are currently operating as members of the Pac-12 Conference as part of a NCAA two-year grace period and will continue to do so for the 2025-26 academic season prior to new members officially joining beginning with the 2026-27 season.
