With three weeks behind us, we’ve learned only a small morsel about the nation’s football programs. And for the Sun Belt, this upcoming Saturday could be particularly revealing as most teams will hit the four games played mark – or one-third of the regular season schedule.
Each week the Sun Belt showcases its programs as the conference continues to further its reach on television and through digital devices. ESPN and the Sun Belt Conference have partnered since the early days of the network and it continues to provide more coverage of the Sun Belt year after year. Every Sun Belt Conference home football game will be broadcast on an ESPN platform. This includes a schedule of midweek games on ESPN/ESPN2 and ESPNU, as well as games that are available on ESPN3 and WatchESPN.
The Sun Belt Conference also recently announced that it will air football and basketball games throughout the 2016-17 season on the American Sports Network. While games on ASN will be broadcasts on “over-the-air” and cable affiliates, they will also be available without blackout restrictions on ESPN3 and all WatchESPN platforms.
The Sun Belt Conference, its peer conferences, ESPN, and other television networks typically select games to air on their platforms 12 days before they are scheduled.
