CFB TV Confirmations for 2026 Week 12 (11/17/2026 - 11/21/2026)

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 12 (11/17/26 - 11/21/2026) from the (mostly) twelve day selection process that most TV networks adhere to. Most conferences have the possibility of having all or part of their scheduled games held for a six day hold for the start time and/or the TV network. The list of available TV windows are based on media websites, TV listings and press releases. They can change based on the needs of the broadcaster or the conference.

Here's what I guessed based on the available openings (they will prove to be incorrect), along with the games that have already been set.

Wasn’t Sanford auburn selected for secn+?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

It was. They changed their minds

Doesn’t Sanford auburn being moved to secn after being selected preseason by secn+ kinda breaks the contract of every sec team being required to host a game on secn+?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

I don't want to diminish it, but I have a feeling all parties involved were OK with this decision. I think the choice to elevate a game here is also more about an SEC game not having to air on SECN and instead would be on ESPN in the afternoon.

Also per the American, utsa uab and unt Tulane are on linear networks, so that likely pushes a 2nd big 12 game to espn+, or they drop one of utsa uab or unt Tulane on espnews

Thanks for keeping this list updated — it is really helpful for planning the weekend around the games. The Sanford/Auburn move to SEC Network is interesting, and it is good to see so many of the American games getting linear TV slots too.
