We’re three weekends into the 2025 college softball season, and with conference play just around the corner, teams are putting the final touches on their lineups before heading into Big 12 play.
We’ve got some clear tiers starting to form in the league, with Arizona, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State appearing to be the teams most likely to make a run at a regular-season title.
Things could change in a hurry, though, as this weekend provides some huge matchups for several programs from the Big 12.
Here’s a comprehensive schedule of the most notable Big 12 softball games of the week, spanning from Thursday all the way into Sunday evening.
