In an exciting announcement today, the Pac-12 conference unveiled its partnership with The CW Network and FOX Sports to broadcast home football games for the upcoming 2024 season. The agreement ensures that 11 out of the league's 13 home games will be televised on The CW, with the remaining two airing on either FOX or FS1.

This collaboration with two prominent broadcasters guarantees extensive national coverage, serving as a platform to showcase the strength of Oregon State and Washington State's football programs and their talented student-athletes.

What's even more thrilling for fans is that nearly all home games will have predetermined kickoff times set well in advance of the season. The CW lineup has been announced today, while the two games scheduled for FOX or FS1 will be revealed later this month. To enhance the viewing experience, Pac-12 Enterprises, the conference's production facility, will handle the production of all 11 broadcasts for The CW.

Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould expressed her delight about these national partnerships, stating, "Oregon State and Washington State football student-athletes deserve this elite stage as they continue competing for the College Football Playoff, and Beaver and Cougar fans have a great opportunity to enjoy their teams' successes."

This collaboration also addresses the fans' needs, as Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Barnes from Oregon State University explained, "National exposure and the ability for Beaver Nation to easily access our games was a top priority during the process. Additionally, the ability to announce game times well in advance provides an improved experience for our student-athletes and fans."

Anne McCoy, the Interim Director of Athletics at Washington State University, echoed Barnes' sentiment, saying, "We are excited to partner with The CW and FOX to broadcast Cougar Football nationally for the upcoming 2024 season. Having WSU in 100 percent of the homes across the country will amplify the exposure of our student-athletes and program, and grow the connection with our fans and alumni. Additionally, the partnership provides for nearly all home game times to be set in the spring, allowing our fanbase to plan their fall weekends around Cougar Football."

This partnership between the Pac-12 Conference and The CW serves as a significant milestone for both Oregon State and Washington State football programs, alumni, and fans. With The CW and FOX Sports reaching 100% of U.S. households, the Pac-12 football games will receive true national exposure and capture the attention of a wide audience.

Dennis Miller, President of The CW Network, expressed his excitement, stating, "Adding the Pac-12 Conference to The CW's growing roster of live sports gives the network coast-to-coast coverage in key markets and solidifies our position as a national player in college sports. The CW will truly be a destination for all sports fans this fall with impressive weekend lineups consisting of Pac-12 football, ACC football, LIV Golf, and NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff races."

In summary, this partnership ensures that Pac-12 football games will receive extensive national coverage on The CW Network and FOX Sports for the 2024 season. With nearly all home game kickoff times set in advance, fans can eagerly anticipate a thrilling football season that showcases the talents of Oregon State and Washington State football programs.
