Kansas's 2026 Big 12 schedule lists three conference home games: Baylor (Oct 24), UCF (Nov 7) and BYU (Nov 21). The other conference games are away or, in the case of Arizona State, played at neutral-site Wembley in London, so the claim holds as of 2026-09-17.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… I've said it. You and I have been together on this, that just because of the scheduling situation that they've been given, this is a home game in Lawrence. That's what it should have been, Kevin. Should have been Arizona State at KU. By giving up this game, only three home games all year long, conference play, Missouri is one of your non-Cons, it's it's really, really hard for Kansas if they don't either beat Missouri they didn't or go to London and beat Arizona State. …

Supports. The ESPN schedule and the KU Athletics site both list the Nov. 7 game as 'vs UCF', a home game, alongside Baylor (Oct. 24) and BYU (Nov. 21).[1][2]
Supports. Sports-Reference marks Baylor, UCF and BYU as home games (no '@') in the Big 12 conference schedule, with Utah, Kansas State, TCU, West Virginia and Oklahoma State as road games.[3]
Supports. The KSN schedule release lists six home games in total (LIU, Mizzou, Middle Tennessee, Baylor, UCF, BYU), and the Big 12 announcement corroborates the home-away split. Missouri is an SEC non-conference opponent, so its home game does not count toward conference play.[4]
Contradicts. The KSNT schedule release lists the UCF game as 'Away', which conflicts with the other schedule sources. It is the only source to do so and appears to be an error.[5]
Context. The Reuters item dated 2026-11-02 reports the Nov. 7 game against UCF as at home, consistent with the majority of schedules.[6]
