THE PAC-12 AND WASHINGTON STATE released a partial TV football schedule on Tuesday. For Washington State, five of its home games will be aired on The CW. The Pac-12’s production facility will produce all broadcasts for The CW.
Eleven of the league’s 13 home football games will air on The CW, while two will air on FOX or FS1.
“Having WSU in 100 percent of the homes across the country will amplify the exposure of our student-athletes and program, and grow the connection with our fans and alumni. Additionally, the partnership provides for nearly all home game times to be set in the spring, allowing our fanbase to plan their fall weekends around Cougar Football,” WSU interim AD Anne McCoy said in the statement.
The WSU season will kick off at noon on Aug. 31 in Pullman with the Cougs hosting Portland State, televised on The CW.
Week Two, with the Cougs hosting Texas Tech, will be on Fox or FS1, with the kickoff time TBD this month.

WSU is next at home on Oct. 19, hosting Hawaii on The CW with a kickoff time of either 12:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. That start time might not be determined until 12 days prior to the game.
The same is true for WSU’s home game Nov. 19 against Utah State, with a start time of either 12:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. on The CW, to be determined no later than 12 days out.

“We are thrilled to announce these national partnerships with The CW and FOX,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. “Oregon State and Washington State football student-athletes deserve this elite stage as they continue competing for the College Football Playoff, and Beaver and Cougar fans have a great opportunity to enjoy their teams’ successes.”
The president of The CW Network Dennis Miller added; “Adding the Pac-12 Conference to The CW’s growing roster of live sports gives the network coast-to-coast coverage in key markets and solidifies our position as a national player in college sports. The CW will truly be a destination for all sports fans this fall with impressive weekend lineups consisting of Pac-12 football, ACC football, LIV Golf and NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff races.”
