AMES – The Big 12 Conference announced the schedule matrix with home and away opponents for the 2024-25 season Thursday morning. With four new members to the conference in 2024-25 for a total of 16 members, each team will play three opponents twice (home and away) and the remaining 12 opponents once.
Iowa State will play Kansas, Kansas State and UCF twice while hosting BYU, Colorado, Houston, TCU, Texas Tech and Utah. The Cyclones will travel to Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State and West Virginia. Despite adding four new members each of the previous two seasons, Iowa State will only play in one new facility when the Cyclones travel to Arizona. ISU traveled to Arizona State in 1987 and 1994 and traveled to Cincinnati once in 2013.
Opponents were selected based on a combination of geography, historical results and a poll of the coaches to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness. A full Big 12 schedule with dates and times will be released at a later date.
