Oregon State and Washington State home football games will be back on The CW this coming season, with CBS and ESPN also in the mix, as part of a media rights deal the Pac-12 Conference signed with the three networks.The Pac-12 made the deals with an eye toward the 2026 season, when the league will add five current members of the Mountain West Conference — Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Colorado State and Boise State — along with Gonzaga from the West Coast Conference.Gonzaga does not have a football program, so to qualify for the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the Pac-12 will need to bring in at least one additional full-time member with a football program.The CW will handle nine games while ESPN and CBS (along with Paramount+) will get two games apiece. In 2024, The CW broadcast nine games, with the other four shown on Fox.In Week 2 on Sept. 6, The CW will showcase previews of the new Pac-12 with Washington State hosting San Diego State and Fresno State visiting Oregon State. Washington State and Oregon State will meet in a home-and-home series in November.
