TNT Sports has announced its broadcast plans for Big 12 college football ahead of the upcoming season. The network, which recently lost NBA rights and is transitioning its sports programming focus, will begin its Big 12 football coverage next weekend with a matchup between Arizona and Hawaii. Play-by-play will be provided by J.B. Long, joined by analyst Mike Golic Jr. and sideline reporter Allie LaForce.
Adam Lefkoe will return as studio host for TNT’s coverage, leading a panel that includes former National Football League players Champ Bailey, Takeo Spikes, and Victor Cruz. Lefkoe has previously hosted several prominent events for the network.
In addition to live games, TNT Sports is expanding its offerings with new shows around the conference. “Field Study” will feature Big 12 coaches and players reviewing game film for viewers, while “Alumni Walk” will follow notable alumni from Big 12 schools as they visit tailgate sites before kickoff. A weekly preview show titled “Inside the 12” is scheduled to air Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
Big 12 football broadcasts and related content will be distributed across multiple Turner networks including TNT, truTV, and HBO Max.
“We’ll get our first sense of how its college football coverage looks when it debuts next week,” said Tyler Lauletta.
