2023 MAC Football TV/Streaming Primer: Saturday, Sept. 9

It’s Week 2 of the college football season, and once again, all 12 MAC teams are in action, as the conference will feature games in three different windows. The early afternoon slate (12 p.m.-3 p.m.) will feature three games, while the late afternoon slate (3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.) has five contests and the evening slate (6 p.m., and later) will see four MAC programs kick off.

Once again, customers who are subscribed to Charter services will be affected by the Walt Disney Company carriage disputes. This means ABC and the ESPN family of networks will be unavailable to Charter customers. Games affected by the outage have been denoted with an asterisk (*).

ESPN+ games are unaffected, as it is a separate subscription. As always, we provide alternate viewing options under every game offering.

We have everything you need to know on how to watch, stream and listen to all 12 MAC games, as well as other pertinent information below:
