- The CW will broadcast nine games this season, while ESPN, CBS, and Paramount+ will televise two games each, with key matchups such as the Apple Cup set for CBS on September 20.
- In 2024, Pac-12 football games broadcast on The CW attracted an average of 431,000 viewers across 12 matchups, while two games aired on Fox drew about 1.99 million viewers; the financial details of the new agreement have not been made public.
- The new broadcast arrangement supports the Pac-12's efforts to stabilize its football status as it requires adding another full-time football member to meet NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision criteria.
