# 2017 Big 12 Conference football season

The 2017 Big 12 Conference football season was the 22nd season of Big 12 Conference football, taking place during the 2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The season began with non-conference play on Saturday, September 2, 2017, when all 10 of the league's teams played their first non-conference opponents. Big 12 Conference play began on Saturday, September 23, 2017.
The 2017 season was the sixth for the Big 12 since the 2010–13 Big 12 Conference realignment brought the Big 12 membership to its current form. The conference had ten members: Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia. The Big 12 is a Power Five conference under the College Football Playoff format, along with the ACC, the Big Ten, the Pac-12 and the SEC.
As a ten-team league, the Big 12 played a nine-game, round-robin conference schedule. Each member played three non-conference games–one of which was required to be against another Power Five conference foe. The regular season was followed by a conference championship game played between the regular season champion and regular season runner-up. The 2017 Big 12 Championship Game was held Saturday, December 2, 2017, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
