Pregame coverage presented by AT&T will begin at 10 p.m. and feature a trio of analysts who starred across the college football and NFL landscape — Champ Bailey, Takeo Spikes and Victor Cruz — along with host Adam Lefkoe. Studio coverage throughout the night will also include halftime presented by Vanda Pharmaceuticals and postgame presented by GEICO.  

Play-by-play voice J.B. Long and analyst Mike Golic, Jr. will call Week 1's action in Tucson along with reporter Allie LaForce.    

Leading into Saturday’s Week 1 action at 9:30 p.m. on truTV and HBO Max, TNT Sports will premiere its first edition of XII Uncovered, an access-driven show in which Big 12 football will be highlighted like never before. The weekly program will lead off with Arizona and provide fans an in-depth, all-access look at the Wildcats. 

The “Big 12 Studios” produced magazine-style show Inside the 12 will air on Thursday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m., on truTV and HBO Max. The weekly preview will be hosted by Pete Sousa and Taylor McHargue.  

Bleacher Report will showcase the most compelling storylines, key moments and top players 24/7 across its social platforms including House of Highlights and the B/R CFB, its college football-focused vertical. Throughout the season, Bleacher Report will produce a series of new Big 12–centered programming concepts, including Field Study and Alumni Walk.    

For Weeks 2 and 3, TNT Sports will present the No. 23 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders hosting Kent State Golden Flashes on Saturday, Sept. 6, at Noon, followed by the No. 11 ranked Arizona State Sun Devils hosting the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 10:30 p.m. All three of the first games will air across TNT, truTV and HBO Max.   

In addition to its Big 12 coverage, TNT Sports will once again be the home to two First Round College Football Playoff games later this year. Last December, Penn State/SMU and Texas/Clemson delivered cable’s two most-watched college football games at the time, and the most-watched college football games ever for TNT Sports.
