Big 12 Mexico original announcement 2023-06-08
Salient excerpt --
the Conference’s first international extension that will see Big 12 men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer and baseball games held in Mexico. Big 12 Mexico’s first contest will be a men’s and women’s basketball matchup between Kansas and Houston, held in Mexico City at Arena CDMX in December of 2024.
So figure December 2025. No idea if it will be KU and UH for the "tip", but it seems likely.
