2023 MAC Football TV/Streaming Primer: Thursday, August 31

There’s already one game in the books for the MAC, a loss in Week 0 for the Ohio Bobcats, but fret not: there’s more chances at the plate for the MAC to get their first victory of the 2023 season.

Two more of those opportunities pop up later this evening, with a new-look Kent State team hoping to spoil the Big 12 debut of the surging UCF Knights, while Western Michigan hopes to get the Lance Taylor era off on the right foot by beating a punchy St. Francis (PA) team.

Here’s how you can watch, stream and listen to both games:
