1st PAC-12 media partner was announced last month (CBS) Now the CW has inked a deal for PAC-12 2nd media partner.
The CW is the “soon-to-be-revealed second piece” of the Pac-12’s football media rights package and will air games from 2026-31, according to sources. The CW joins CBS, which was
previously announced as a league partner in June. This is “an expansion of The CW’s existing two-year relationship” with the conference. The CW’s Pac-12 broadcast team for Washington State and Oregon State football games this season “includes
Ted Robinson (play-by-play),
Ryan Leaf (analyst), and
Nigel Burton (sideline reporter)." The Pac-12’s media rights package for 2026-2031 “will include additional components,” and sources said there “will be at least one more partner, and possibly two.” Warner Bros. Discovery “has kicked the tires on Pac-12 basketball and football” and “has been in discussions with the conference’s media consultant,” Octagon. Meanwhile, the Pac-12’s Olympic sports programs “may end up under the umbrella of ESPN’s direct-to-consumer platform”
