The conference will broadcast all home men's soccer, women's soccer, and volleyball matches on YouTube for the 2026 season.
The reborn Pac-12 has announced a media rights deal with YouTube to broadcast all home volleyball, women's soccer, and men's soccer action for the 2026 fall season, according to reporting from Sports Illustrated.
In a statement released Monday, the conference noted that the partnership aims to make competition more accessible to students, alumni, and fans through a widely available destination. The conference added that Pac-12 Enterprises will provide centralized production capabilities to ensure a consistent viewing experience on the league's YouTube channel.
While the announcement focused on fall sports, the conference did not provide details regarding winter or spring sports. The move follows previous five-year media rights agreements for men's and women's basketball and football with USA Network, The CW, and CBS. Under those deals, CBS' main channel will air the football and men's basketball tournament championship games, along with at least three regular-season contests for each sport annually.
The rebuilt Pac-12 currently consists of nine full members: Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State, Oregon State, and Washington State.
