on

The kickoff times have been finalized for the upcoming Montana Grizzly football season following the completion of the ROOT Sports broadcast schedule for Big Sky Conference football.

Griz fans will enjoy two night games at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in 2016, with the season kickoff against Saint Francis set for 7 p.m. on Sept. 3, and UM facing Idaho State under the lights at 5 p.m. on Nov. 5 on ROOT Sports Network.

The Grizzlies will have four games – two at home, two on the road – broadcast nationwide on ROOT Sports. Root Sports reaches just over 13 million households across 22 states and owns exclusive rights to produce and distribute live events from more than 25 teams and conferences.

Montana will play three-straight home games to start the month of October, each kicking-off at 2:30 p.m., and each being broadcast on Cowles Montana Media stations statewide. The Griz October home schedule includes the homecoming game against Southern Utah, Mississippi Valley State and Sacramento State.

The Griz return to the road for two games against Big Sky foes Northern Arizona (Oct. 22) in Flagstaff, and Eastern Washington (Oct. 29) in Cheney. The NAU game will air on Cowles Montana Media, while the EWU game will be broadcast on ROOT Sports.

Montana will have its second game in as many weeks broadcast by ROOT Sports the following week, when the Griz take on Idaho State on Nov. 5 in Missoula.

The Grizzlies then visit Northern Colorado on Nov. 12 in Greeley, Colo. Fans in Montana can watch on Cowles Montana Media stations statewide. Fans in the Denver Metro area can watch on CET Sports Colorado, a division of Comcast cable.
