Where to watch #UMvsUNI

No. 24 Montana hosts No. 13 Northern Iowa to open the season on Saturday night at 7:07 p.m. in Missoula, and once again fans across the state and around the globe will have the chance to tune in and watch the top-25 matchup live.

ABC Montana will televise the game over the air and on cable systems statewide, except in Billings where the game will be seen on SWX (channel 8.2 and Spectrum Channel 503).

Ron Davis will provide the play-by-play, alongside Grizzly legends Grady Bennett and Mick Delany on color and analysis. Shaun Rainey will provide the sideline commentary.

If you live in-state you can also stream the game to your smart phone or tablet using the WATCH SWX App, available to download free from the App Store or Google Play Store. Via the WATCH SWX App, it's possible to relay the game to your TV using Air Play with Apple TV, or a similar service.

If you live out of state (like in Iowa), or around the world, you can stream the game live at GoGriz.com/watch to your computer, laptop, smart phone, or tablet.

If you have DirecTV or Dish Network, you can also get the game on the Altitude 2 Sports Network (Channel 681-1 on DirectTV and channel 440/9575 on the Dish Network).

Broadcast Notes:

The Big Sky Conference owns and manages all broadcast rights for its member institutions. As UM/UNI is a nonconference game it will not be available to watch on the Big Sky's OTT partner, PlutoTV or WatchBigSky.com.

The Griz will have four games this year broadcast on the Big Sky's premier broadcast partner, ROOT Sports. Those games are against: Sacramento State, Southern Utah, Idaho, and Montana State. It's important to know there are no standard web streams available for a ROOT broadcast. But…
