Big 12 football fans already knew the schedule for their favorite team but now they know what time and on what channel they’ll be able to watch the games for Week 1.

There will be FBS football players this week and next week we’ll start the Big 12 football season with some long-awaited games finally ready to kick off on Sept. 12.

The Big 12 previously released the condensed schedule that was altered due to the postponed start amid concerns and precautions stemming from the coronavirus pandemic.

But now the wait is over for fans wondering what time and on what channel they’ll be able to watch the season-opening games.

Oklahoma football fans looking at the Week 1 start times and TV information may wonder where and when their season-opener vs. Missouri State is. Well, that game will be available for $54.99 on pay-per-view. Sooners fans are used to this deal as part of the Sooner Sports TV contract with Fox Sports.

Famously, the overtime win vs. Army was on pay-per-view two seasons ago and resulted in scores of college football fans looking for a free stream. Oklahoma fans are hoping this game won’t go to overtime, but it will limit the reach for fans who aren’t die-hard Sooners fans and willing to pay the price to watch what should be a blowout win.
