The Big 12 and BIG EAST Conferences announced a two-year extension to the Big 12-BIG EAST Battle, their men’s basketball non-conference scheduling alliance which has been in effect since 2019-20. It include competition in November and December during each of the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons.
With each conference adding member schools since the start of the original agreement, The Battle will increase from 10 to 11 matchups between the conferences during the two extension years. The Big 12 will host six games in 2023-24, and the BIG EAST will host six contests in 2024-2025.
The Battle matchups will continue to be determined by the two conferences, with the home team choosing the venue of its game. Broadcasts for the contests will be determined by the national television rights holder of the home team, which is ESPN for the Big 12 and FOX Sports for the BIG EAST.
