9/3 - Central Arkansas - CBS Sports Network owns rights. May stagger start time with and show both our game and the USA vs. USM game. Otherwise the game will be on the NFL Network.

9/10 - at Miami - ESPN or ESPN2

Thanks for the info. This Saturday we can watch our first opponent play at 7pm on ESPN.

Either way, two national TV games to start the year. Good stuff.

Very glad to hear that. Great to have two national TV games to start off..

UAB website now lists the first game as ESPN+.

Curious how you got this NFL Network information?

One of the local reporters tweeted it.

The first game, CBS Sports Network has rights and waiting to here if they are going to stagger kicks to show both South Alabama vs. Southern Miss and Central Arkansas vs. UAB. or if it'll be on NFL Network

at Miami is expected to be ESPN or ESPN 2

CUSA's TV contract sucks. One of two games being played with people hungry for football, yet no one will see it.

Part of it is that, the other part is neither UAB or USM would move kick-off times to allow CBS to show both.

Well, now first game is updated to ESPN3. Which is guess is slightly better since you don't have to pay the extra ESPN+ fee. Most people get it through their current cable/live streaming provider, and in many cases their ISP.

UAB @ Miami added to ACC Network. South Alabama game looks like ESPN (wow!)

USA vs UAB - ESPN Thursday 9/24 at 6:30pm.

Just saw that Thursday nights game is on ESPN College Extra.

If you have the Sports Pack on DirecTv you should get it.

It's legit. Part of the Sports Pack. DirecTV puts a few games on each week during the season that might be on ESPN3 or other obscure place. I've watched a few Jacksonville State games the last few years on there. Around Channel 790. Happy to see UAB is on there Thursday night.

It's just not available anywhere besides DirecTV and Verizon.
