The rebuilding Pac-12 has signed a multiyear broadcast deal with The CW through the 2030-31 season.

The deal announced with The CW on Wednesday calls for the network to broadcast 66 events in the 2026-27 season: 13 regular-season football games, 35 regular-season men's basketball games, 15 regular-season women's basketball games, and the women's basketball tournament semifinal and championship games.

Pac-12 Enterprises, the broadcast production arm of the conference, will produce each of the events.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

This is the latest broadcast agreement for the Pac-12, which in June announced a deal with CBS Sports and Paramount+ to air or stream football and basketball games through the 2030-31 season.

More member networks could be added.

Decimated by the departure of all but two member schools prior to the 2024-25 academic year, the Pac-12 was dormant last season. But it will launch again next fall, with seven schools joining holdovers Oregon State and Washington State.

Joining the conference are five Mountain West programs: Boise State, Utah State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State. It also has added Gonzaga and Texas State.
