I’ll need a new way to watch Pac-12 football teams in 2024 since the conference is changing. Here’s how I’ll find where these teams are playing this season.

Watch Current and Former Pac-12 Teams
Even though we are still a couple of weeks out from the start of the 2024 NCAA football season, we’re already getting questions about how to watch the teams which have left the Pac-12 since the Pac-12 Network shut down a month ago.
Here’s where each team landed:
| Team | 2024-25 Conference | How to Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Cal, Stanford | ACC | ESPN channels — especially ACC Network and ACC Next Extra |
| Oregon, UCLA, USC, Washington | Big Ten | Fox Sports & the four Big Ten Network channels |
| Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah | Big 12 | Big 12 Now (provided with ESPN+) |
| Oregon State, Washington State | Pac-12 | Most games will air on The CW available via antenna or streaming services including Fubo |
Context: The Pac-12 Collapse
Last year, the Pac-12 had (reasonably enough) 12 teams in it. This year, there are only 2 teams left in the conference — the other ten teams have moved elsewhere.
It all started in the summer of 2022 when UCLA and USC announced that they would be leaving the conference. This move by two of the most-storied college teams started a rush to the exits.
Here is a timeline of the exit announcements:
- June 30, 2022: UCLA and USC join Big Ten
- July 27, 2023: Colorado joins Big 12
- August 4, 2023: Oregon and Washington join Big Ten
- August 4, 2023: Arizona, Arizona State, Utah join Big 12
- September 1, 2023: Cal and Stanford join ACC
That leaves just Oregon State and Washington State in the Pac-12 Conference — for now.
Pac-12 Conference Future
With just Oregon State and Washington State in the Pac-12 Conference, many fear this iconic conference may end. This seems unlikely since the Pac-12 has now formed an alliance with the Mountain West Conference.
There is speculation that as early as next year the Mountain West and Pac-12 will merge into a new conference.
