Denver • The Mountain West has agreed to six-year media rights deals with CBS Sports and Fox Sports that are worth a combined $270 million.
The agreements include football and men’s basketball. The deals begin in 2020-21 and run through the 2025-26 season, the conference announced Thursday. There are additional third-tier rights still in negotiation.
This marks the inaugural arrangement between the league and Fox, which will show the conference’s football championship game. The CBS Sports Network remains the primary television rights holder.
“Retaining the conference’s top games for CBS Sports Network is important and builds upon our already strong schedule,“ said Dan Weinberg, the executive vice president for programming for CBS Sports.
