Where To Watch: Griz Football
WHERE TO WATCH AND LISTEN
Montana football games have a big-time presence on statewide television in 2025 thanks to a partnership between Grizzly Athletics, The Big Sky Conference, The E.W. Scripps Company and the Montana Television Network.
Scripps Sports will broadcast 10 of Montana's 12 games this season, including the annual Brawl of the Wild between Montana and Montana State. The only games not on local Montana Scripps stations will be Idaho and Sacramento State, set to air to millions of viewers nationwide on ESPN2.Â
Â
Montana's games airing on Scripps stations vary depending on market. The below table tells you on what channel the game will air in your specific market. The Montana Television Network recently launched "The Spot" – a new independent television network that serves as the secondary home of Big Sky Conference games and will carry specific UM games in specific markets.Â
The Spot is available around the state free-to-air for viewers with antennas. It is also available on Spectrum Cable, TCT West, Montana Opticom, Access Motnana, DIRECTV, the DIRECTV streaming platform, and FUBO TV as well.
To find out if The Spot is available in your area, visit their Where to Watch page.
All games will also be streamed live and without blackout nationwide on the ESPN+ streaming platform.Â
