Two Pac-12 basketball championship games will share one day and one national audio broadcaster. Compass Media Networks will carry both as part of a multi-year national audio deal that also adds the conference’s football championship.
Compass Media Networks will produce, broadcast, and market pregame, postgame, and live play-by-play coverage beginning in December with the Pac-12 Football Championship. The Pac-12 Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament Championship Games follow on March 13, 2027, with both held the same day in Las Vegas.
In August, Compass renewed its exclusive national audio rights to the Big Ten men’s basketball tournament and football championship game, which it has held since 2010. It also added the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament, with coverage beginning at the 2027 championship game.
Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould said, “As we celebrate the Pac-12’s next chapter, we are excited to partner with Compass Media Networks and Playfly Sports to deliver high-quality audio broadcasts at a national scale for our championship games in football and men’s and women’s basketball. Fans across the country will have live play-by-play access to three of our premier events across all audio platforms.”
Compass Media Networks General Manager of Sports Programming Robert Blum added, “The Pac-12 Conference is an awesome addition to our play-by-play sports lineup. We look forward to working with the Pac-12 Conference and PLAYFLY Sports to build excitement for these iconic matchups.”
