IRVING, Texas – On Thursday afternoon, the Big 12 Conference announced the league’s conference schedule for the upcoming 2026 NCAA Division I softball season.

Each program will play eight three-game series for a total of 24 conference games during a nine-week span that will begin on March 6 and run through May 3. Following the final regular season weekend, teams from across the Big 12 will then gather in Oklahoma City, Okla., for a four-day Big 12 Tournament at Devon Park.

Game times and television designations for all of Arizona State’s regular season Big 12 games will be announced at a later date.

Last season, Arizona State (35-21) finished with a 14-10 mark in league play, before advancing to the semifinals of the Big 12 Softball Championship. The Sun Devils earned at least one win over each of its conference opponents throughout the 2025 campaign, including then-No. 10 Arizona in Tempe and then-No. 11/12 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas to conclude the regular season. ASU went on to eliminate then-No. 23 Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament as well.
