In 2013, Fox reached a 12-year deal to broadcast games from the
Big East Conference (whose non-football schools had broken away from the conference under the Big East name, with the remainder becoming the
American Athletic Conference).
CBS Sports sub-licensed rights to additional Big East games, mostly airing on
CBS Sports Network. Since 2014, as part of its contract with the conference, Fox holds rights to 22
Pac-12 basketball games per-season, and splits coverage of the
Pac-12 men's basketball tournament with
ESPN and
Pac-12 Network. In 2014, the main Fox broadcast network first aired the early-season
Las Vegas Invitational and
Las Vegas Classic events. The following year, Fox Sports bought both events outright. In 2017, Fox added coverage of selected
Big Ten Conference games as part of a larger six-year contract, alongside ESPN and
CBS, which had also given it rights to the conference's top football package. Fox Sports continues to operate
Big Ten Network, which has carried Big Ten games since its launch in 2007. Beginning in the 2020–21 season, Fox holds a share of the
Mountain West Conference's basketball and football packages, split with CBS. To open the 2021–22 season, Fox aired six simultaneous Big East games on November 9, 2021, with all games streaming online, and "whiparound" coverage airing on FS1. The network planned an unconventional broadcast for a November 23 game featuring
Mark Titus and Tate Frazier (of the Fox Sports-distributed
podcast Titus & Tate) commentating the game in the style of a podcast. On August 18, 2022, Fox renewed its rights to the Big Ten under a seven-year deal beginning in 2023–24, maintaining 45 men's basketball games per-season on Fox and FS1, as well as selected women's games. In October 2022, Fox also renewed its rights to the
Big 12 Conference, adding rights to a package of basketball games for Fox and FS1. For the
2022–23 season, Fox added a package of Saturday primetime games branded as
Fox Primetime Hoops, and announced that six women's basketball games would air on the network—including the first Big Ten women's basketball games to air on Fox. In April 2024, Fox Sports announced a partnership with
AEG to begin hosting a new postseason tournament—the
College Basketball Crown—in Las Vegas beginning in 2025. This 16-team tournament will primarily feature teams from the Big East, Big Ten, and Big 12 conferences who did not qualify for the NCAA tournament. For the
2024–25 season, as part of a strategy to dedicate Friday nights to Fox Sports programming following the move of
WWE SmackDown to
USA Network, Fox added regular Friday primetime games. ==Theme music==
