Montana Grizzlies Land 2 National TV Games for 2026

Live, and under the lights, it's Montana Grizzly Football!

Montana Grizzlies To Play In 2 National TV Games

The University of Montana announced yesterday that there will be not one, but two Grizzly Football games aired on national television.

Montana at Oregon State, on Saturday, September 19, on the USA Network, will kick off at 9 pm MT (yikes). 

Idaho State at Montana, played at Washington-Grizzly Stadium on Saturday, November 14, will air on the ESPN family of networks (channel to be decided at a later time) at 8:30 pm MT.

The pros? Grizzly Football gets a nationwide display with millions viewing. Plus, Montana has had some all-time moments on national TV.

The cons? The games don't start until deep into the night. If you're a Griz fan on the East Coast, good luck with an 11 pm kick against Oregon State in Corvallis. Throw the Grizzly Radio Network on and fall asleep listening to us. That's my advice.
