Oklahoma State Cowgirl Basketball Lands 12 National TV Games for Highly Anticipated 2026-27 Season

STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State women's basketball is preparing for one of its most anticipated seasons in program history, and the Cowgirls will have plenty of opportunities to showcase their talent on the national stage.

Oklahoma State announced its 2026-27 tipoff times and television selections Tuesday, revealing 12 nationally televised games, including appearances on ABC and FOX.

Ten of those contests will come during Big 12 play, tying the Cowgirls with TCU for the most nationally televised conference games.

The announcement comes as Oklahoma State enters the season as the Big 12 preseason favorite for the first time in program history.

Among the biggest games is Oklahoma State's Dec. 6 trip to South Carolina, which will air on ABC at 3 p.m. CT.

Six days later, the Cowgirls will renew their Bedlam rivalry against Oklahoma in Oklahoma City. That matchup is scheduled for Dec. 12 at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN2.

The national spotlight will also shine on Gallagher-Iba Arena throughout conference play. Oklahoma State hosts TCU on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN before welcoming Kansas State for a Presidents Day showdown on Feb. 15. That contest will tip off at noon CT on FOX, giving the Cowgirls another opportunity to reach a national broadcast audience.

Additional nationally televised conference matchups include West Virginia, Iowa State, BYU, Arizona State, Colorado, Baylor and Texas Tech.

The Big 12 is also expanding its television presence this season, with CBS Sports joining the conference's broadcast partners. Oklahoma State will make two appearances on CBS Sports Network.

The Cowgirls' remaining eight conference games will be available on ESPN+.

The increased national exposure reflects the excitement surrounding head coach Jacie Hoyt's program.

Oklahoma State enters the season with the nation's unanimous top-ranked transfer class, headlined by two-time Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year Audi Crooks and Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year Liv McGill.

The Cowgirls are coming off a 24-win campaign and their third NCAA Tournament appearance in four seasons under Hoyt.

With a talented roster and unprecedented preseason expectations, Oklahoma State will have numerous opportunities to prove itself against high-profile opponents.

The Cowgirls begin their exhibition schedule Oct. 27 against Langston at Gallagher-Iba Arena, with tipoff set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

Their regular season officially opens Nov. 2 against Southern at 5 p.m. CT on ESPN+.

For a program already generating considerable preseason buzz, the national television schedule offers another indication of how much attention Oklahoma State is attracting heading into November.
