TCU will play on national television 12 times this season, according to a broadcast schedule released by the school Friday.

The Horned Frogs will be on national television on Fox Sports 1 three times — March 26 at Texas, April 15 against Oklahoma and April 29 against Texas Tech — and on ESPNU twice — April 2 at Wichita State and April 17 against Texas. Seven games will be broadcast on ESPN3.

TCU is coming off its first Big 12 championship and its third College World Series appearance in six years, going 51-15 last season. The Frogs are the favorite in the coaches poll to repeat as league champions.

The season opens Feb. 19 against Loyola Marymound, and the first televised game is Feb. 23 against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Fox Sports Southwest Plus.

In all, 34 TCU games will be televised by MLB Network (Shriner’s College Classic Feb. 26-28), Fox Sports Southwest, FSSW Pluls or Fox College Sports.
