Report: Big 12 to Start on Sept. 26, Hold Championship on Dec. 12

The Big 12 is still preparing to hold a football season in the fall of 2020. Sept. 26 has been tabbed as the intended opening day for conference play, according to Stadium's Brett McMurphy.

Non-conference play for Big 12 teams is slated to begin on either Sept. 12 or Sept. 19, per Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman. Each Big 12 team is expected to play one non-conference game and nine conference games in 2020.

The Big 12 opted to continue pursuing a 2020 season on Tuesday night. The Big Ten and Pac-12 have both opted to cancel fall sports in 2020, while the SEC and ACC are still planning to conduct their fall seasons.
