SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 Conference announced today its 2019 football schedule that pairs a competitive nine-game Conference schedule with a non-conference slate that includes six contests against teams ranked in the current College Football Playoff rankings, including three games against CFP semifinalists No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 4 Oklahoma.

Of the 36 non-conference games next season, 21 will be against teams who are participating in the 2018 bowl season. The 2019 docket features three games against the Big Ten, three more against the Big 12, and a pair of contests against SEC foes.

The 2019 season is set to open on Saturday, August 24, as ARIZONA travels to Hawai’i. Three Power 5 opponents highlight week one (Northwestern at STANFORD, OREGON vs. Auburn, Oklahoma State at OREGON STATE), before Conference action gets underway with a pair of league contests in week two as STANFORD visits USC, and CALIFORNIA travels to Pac-12 Champion WASHINGTON.

In keeping with tradition, Conference rivalry games will be played over the last two weeks of the season, followed by the Pac-12 Football Championship Game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, December 6.

Over the course of the 14-week season, each team will be provided with two byes, with no team playing more than eight consecutive games.

The schedule includes seven Friday night Conference games and one Thursday night Conference game. The road team for the Friday night game is assured of a home game the preceding Saturday, while both teams playing on Thursday will have a bye the preceding Saturday.

Every football game played at Pac-12 sites will be televised. A combination of the ESPN channels, ABC, FOX and FOX Sports 1 will broadcast 44 games nationally and Pac-12 Networks will offer 35 games to a national audience. Exact broadcast schedules will be determined at a later date.
