Arizona State’s men’s basketball team now knows the full road map for 2026-27, and the Big 12 slate brings the kind of travel that can test a group from the start. The Sun Devils will make trips to preseason Top-25 opponents Kansas and Texas Tech, head to Tucson for the annual rivalry game with Arizona, and also face a two-game road swing that includes Cincinnati and West Virginia on the same trip.
The conference grind is spread across January, February and early March, with plenty of high-profile home dates mixed in. Arizona State will host Kansas State, Houston, TCU, Arizona, Iowa State, Utah and Baylor at Desert Financial Arena, while the away schedule includes stops at Oregon State, TCU, Texas Tech, Arizona, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Kansas, Kansas State, Colorado and Oklahoma State.
The Big 12 stretch begins Jan. 5 at TCU in Fort Worth, Texas, before the Sun Devils return home for UCF on Jan. 9.
From there, the league schedule quickly ramps up with the Jan. 12 trip to Texas Tech, the Jan. 16 visit to Arizona, and home games against Kansas State and Houston on Jan. 19 and Jan. 23.
Late January brings another demanding road sequence: West Virginia on Jan. 27 and Cincinnati on Jan. 30.
February opens with TCU visiting Tempe on Feb. 6, followed by the road trip to Kansas on Feb. 9.
Arizona State then hosts Arizona on Feb. 13, travels to Kansas State on Feb. 16, and comes back home for Iowa State on Feb. 19 and Utah on Feb. 23.
The month closes with a trip to Colorado on Feb. 27, before Baylor comes to Desert Financial Arena on March 2 and Oklahoma State awaits on March 6.

ASU Heads To Kansas With Real Offensive Questions Up Front
Arizona State heads into its next Big 12 matchup with some real questions up front, and the first availability report only sharpened the concern.
