Big 12 releases its football schedule; TCU to open conference play against Iowa State
The Big 12 decided to move forward with a football season this fall Tuesday evening. And on Wednesday morning, the conference released its 2020 schedule.
The league decided on a “plus-one” model earlier this month with one non-conference game followed by a nine-game conference season.
TCU will open its season with a home game against Tennessee Tech of the Ohio Valley Conference on Sept. 12. The Horned Frogs will then host Iowa State in their Big 12 opener on Sept. 26 at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
TCU will travel to Texas for its next game on Oct. 3. The only game that remained the same for TCU from its original schedule is its Nov. 28 game at Kansas over Thanksgiving weekend.
Other notable Big 12 games include the Red River Showdown between Texas and Oklahoma staying on Oct. 10 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, and Oklahoma and Oklahoma State playing the Bedlam Series Nov. 21 in Norman. The conference championship is scheduled for Dec. 12 or Dec. 19, presumably at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
Here’s TCU’s full schedule:
Sept. 12: vs. Tennessee Tech
Sept. 26: vs. Iowa State
Oct. 3: at Texas
Oct. 10: vs. Kansas State
Oct. 24: vs. Oklahoma
Oct. 31: at Baylor
Nov. 7: vs. Texas Tech
Nov. 14: at West Virginia
Nov. 28: at Kansas
Dec. 5: vs. Oklahoma State
