Montana Grizzlies Football TV Schedule, Channels, Times
How to watch live stream Montana Grizzlies football game today, tonight, or tomorrow? What channel & time?
The Montana Grizzlies compete in the Big Sky Conference, where every conference game streams live on ESPN+. Home games at Washington-Grizzly Stadium are among the premier atmospheres in the FCS, regularly drawing sellout crowds in Missoula. The biggest television showcase of the non-conference schedule comes on September 19 when Montana travels to Oregon State, with the game airing nationally on USA Network as part of the Beavers' media package. Throughout Big Sky play, most kickoff times remain on ESPN+, although late-season rivalry games are often selected for national television closer to kickoff. East Coast viewers should note several late-night starts, including road trips to Oregon State, UC Davis, and Northern Arizona. Montana enters the 2026 season with high expectations after another deep playoff run, and the annual Brawl of the Wild against Montana State once again closes one of the nation's toughest FCS schedules. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Which Montana Grizzlies games are worth watching in 2026?
Montana's toughest non-conference challenge arrives on September 19 when the Grizzlies travel to Oregon State for their only FBS matchup of the season. A week later, they open Big Sky road play at UC Davis in what could be an early battle between conference title contenders. Home games against Idaho and longtime rival Eastern Washington have consistently shaped the Big Sky standings over the past decade, while the October 17 meeting with Idaho at Washington-Grizzly Stadium should once again be one of the premier games in the FCS regular season.
Everything builds toward the annual Brawl of the Wild on November 21, when Montana visits defending national champion Montana State in one of the fiercest rivalries in college football. The rivalry regularly draws one of the largest television audiences in the FCS and often determines conference championships, playoff seeding, or both. Combined with late-season home games against Portland State and Idaho State, the Grizzlies once again face a demanding finish that should keep them firmly in the national spotlight throughout the 2026 season.
