The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Kansas’ Nov. 1 home game against Oklahoma State will kick off at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN+, while Kansas State’s Harley Day contest against Texas Tech that same day remains under a six-day television selection.
Kansas’ matchup with Oklahoma State will highlight the Jayhawks’ 113th Homecoming celebration. The Jayhawks have won their last three Homecoming games, including victories over No. 6 Oklahoma in 2023, Iowa State in 2022 and Houston in Kansas City in 2024. Kansas first hosted Homecoming in 1912 and holds a 47-60-5 all-time record in those games.
The meeting with Oklahoma State marks the 75th all-time between the programs and the 40th in Lawrence. The Cowboys lead the series 41-30-3, including a 19-14-2 advantage in games played at KU.
Kansas (3-1 at home this season) has home wins over Fresno State, Wagner and West Virginia, and will face Kansas State in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown on Oct. 25 before hosting the Cowboys. The Nov. 1 contest will be KU’s second afternoon start and second appearance on ESPN+ this season.
Meanwhile, Kansas State’s Nov. 1 matchup against Texas Tech in Manhattan will have its game time and broadcast announced later this week after being held for a six-day selection by the Big 12 and its television partners.
The Wildcats have dominated the recent series, winning the last eight meetings and 12 of the past 13 overall. K-State defeated Texas Tech, 38-21, in Lubbock in 2023, while earning a 37-28 victory in the last matchup in Manhattan in 2022.
