Big 12 expands into Mexico with basketball games and potential bowl game.

The Big 12 Conference has announced the launch of Big 12 Mexico, its first international extension, which will see Big 12 men's and women's basketball, women's soccer, and baseball games held in Mexico. The first contest will be a men's and women's basketball matchup between Kansas and Houston, held in Mexico City at Arena CDMX in 2024. The Big 12 will also explore establishing a football bowl game in Monterrey, starting in 2026. The initiative aims to expand the conference brand and provide student-athletes with the opportunity to compete in an international setting.
