7/13/2023 8:32:00 AM | Football
The Montana Grizzlies, Big Sky Conference, and Scripps Television have finalized the kickoff times and broadcast details for the upcoming conference football season, the league announced Thursday.
Montana Television Network stations statewide will once again broadcast the entirety of the Grizzlies' Big Sky slate, except for the previously announced ESPN2 game at Idaho. A nationwide stream of each game will also be available on ESPN+.
SWX stations will broadcast Montana's two home nonconference games statewide in September, with a stream of those games also available on ESPN+
The Griz will play a total of six night games in 2023, with the home game against Sacramento State on Nov. 4 set to be played under the lights at Washington-Grizzly Stadium at 6 p.m. The nonconference home game against Ferris State on Sept. 16 is also set to kickoff at 6 p.m.
On the road, Montana will play at night against Utah Tech on Sept. 9 (7 p.m. MT), UC Davis on Oct. 7 (5 p.m. MT), Idaho on Oct. 14 (8:30 p.m. MT), and Portland State on Nov. 11 (8 p.m. MT).
The Grizzlies open the season against Butler on Sept. 2 at noon in Missoula. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. Mountain Time at Northern Arizona on Sept. 23 and at home against Idaho State on Sept. 30 for homecoming. UM's home game against Northern Colorado is set for 1 p.m. on Oct. 28.
The 122nd edition of the Brawl of the Wild against Montana State is set for high noon on Nov. 18 in Missoula.
Season tickets and three-game mini plans are available now at GrizTix.com and the Adams Center Ticket Office.
The best way to guarantee the best seats for all six home games is by purchasing season tickets.
Mini plans are also an option for those who can't commit to six Saturdays. New this year, Montana is offering two separate mini plans.
The MSU+2 mini plan secures tickets to the highly anticipated game vs. Montana State, in addition to two other games of the fan's choice. The 3-game mini plan is more affordable, allowing fans to choose three games from any of Montana's first five opponents.
Single-game tickets for Montana's first five home games will go on sale in mid-July. Single-game tickets for the Montana State game – if any tickets are available – will go on sale in September. Don't delay. The only way to guarantee tickets to the Brawl of the Wild is through season tickets or a mini plan.
