The Big 12 released its conference football schedule for 2024-2027. Who will BYU and Utah play?
The Big 12 Conference on Wednesday unveiled its football scheduling matrix for the next four seasons, detailing the conference matchups set to take place.
The conference schedules are built, in part, around four existing rivalries that the Big 12 wants to keep intact: BYU-Utah, Arizona-Arizona State, Baylor-TCU and Kansas-Kansas State, according to Brett McMurphy of Action Network.
The graphics released on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, offer a rundown of the conference home and away games for each member school.

What schools are in the Big 12?
Fourteen schools are part of the Big 12 conference for the 2023-24 school year: Baylor, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia.
But in July 2024, Texas and Oklahoma will depart for the SEC, and Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Arizona State will arrive.
That means that 16 teams will be part of the Big 12 conference starting in the fall of 2024: Baylor, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, West Virginia, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State.
