Key Broadcast Networks and Streaming Options
Understanding TV channel breakdown helps fans plan viewing across cable, satellite, and streaming platforms. The 2025 schedule distributed games across six distinct broadcast partners, reflecting the Big 12's expanded media rights deal
- ESPN+: 3 games (UT Martin, at Kansas, at UCF) - streaming-only, requires subscription
- ESPN: 1 game (Tulsa) - national linear broadcast
- ESPN2: 2 games (Baylor, Cincinnati) - secondary ESPN linear channel
- ESPNU: 3 games (at Texas Tech, Kansas State, Iowa State) - cable-exclusive sports channel
- CBS: 1 game (at Oregon) - major network primetime slot
- TNT/TruTV: 2 games (at Arizona, Houston) - Warner Bros. Discovery linear networks
More than 44,000 fans attended average home games despite the losing record, with the Tulsa rivalry game drawing 48,842 spectators and the season opener attracting 44,809 to Boone Pickens Stadium.
Notable Matchups and Broadcast Highlights
The prime-time slots delivered maximum exposure for Oklahoma State, though results didn't match the hype. Here are the season's most significant televised moments:
- Week 2 at No. 6 Oregon (CBS, 2:30 p.m.): Nationwide broadcast on network television featured the Cowboys facing a top-10 opponent at Autzen Stadium, one of college football's toughest road venues.
- Week 8 vs. No. 24 Cincinnati (ESPN2, 7:00 p.m.): Evening primetime Homecoming game against a ranked opponent drew 46,901 fans despite a 17-49 loss.
- Week 9 at No. 14 Texas Tech (ESPNU, 3:00 p.m.): Hard-fought road rivalry matchup in Lubbock ended in a 0-42 shutout defeat.
- Week 13 vs. Iowa State (ESPNU, 11:00 a.m.): Bedlam rivalry finale decided the program's fate in a 13-20 loss before 35,127 attendees.
"The 2025 schedule featured seven home games and national television exposure on CBS, ESPN, and ESPNU, setting up a challenging path for head coach Mike Gundy's program," said an OSU Athletics official when the schedule was announced February 4, 2025.
Where to Watch Oklahoma State Football in 2025
Fans need streaming subscription access for three games exclusively on ESPN+, while cable subscribers can view the remaining nine games on linear channels. The Big 12 Conference's media partnership ensures broad distribution across Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney platforms.
The Big 12 on ESPN+ package covers conference games without national primetime selection, which explains why contests at Kansas and UCF streamed exclusively there. Meanwhile, marquee matchups like at Oregon secured CBS placement due to national interest in the Ducks' ranked status.
Season Recap and Statistical Context
Oklahoma State finished 1-11 overall in 2025, with their only win coming against UT Martin (27-7) in Week 1. The Cowboys went 0-8 in Big 12 conference play, suffering heavy defeats against ranked opponents including a 3-69 loss at No. 6 Oregon and 0-42 shutout at No. 14 Texas Tech.
Average home attendance totaled 44,852 fans per game despite the losing record, demonstrating continued fan loyalty. The Tulsa rivalry game drew the largest crowd (48,842), while the Bedlam finale drew the smallest (35,127) as team performance declined.
The TV ratings performance remained strong for ESPN's suite of networks, with primetime slots averaging 1.2-1.8 million viewers across ESPN2 and ESPNU broadcasts according to internal Nielsen data from the 2025 college football season.
How to Access Every Game
