Oklahoma State football 2026 non-conference kickoff times, TV networks set

Oklahoma State football’s non-conference schedule has something for everyone — morning, afternoon or evening kickoff.

The Big 12 Conference announced start times and television networks for the Cowboys’ first three games.

The Pokes open their season at Tulsa in a 2:45 p.m. start on Sept. 5, broadcast by ESPNU.

That is followed by OSU’s home opener against Oregon at 11 a.m. Sept. 12, on ESPN.

And ESPN+ will carry the final non-conference matchup, against Murray State at 6 p.m. Sept. 19 at Boone Pickens Stadium.

The following week, the Cowboys will open Big 12 play against West Virginia on either Fox or FS1, though no kickoff time has been set yet.

OSU’s season opener marks the first time the Cowboys have opened at Tulsa since 2000 and the 11th time OSU has played TU in a season opener. The only team the Cowboys have faced more in season openers is Arkansas.

Oregon represents the first home game of the Eric Morris era. 

OSU’s matchup against Murray State is the first meeting between the programs. OSU is 32-0 against FCS opponents since Division I split in 1978.

Here’s a look at the full schedule:
