NMSU football schedule: Aggies set to appear on national TV at least three times this season
New Mexico State running back Larenzo McMillan (16) takes a handoff from quarterback Brandon Nuñez during a 38-3 loss to Texas A&M on Nov. 16 in College Station, Texas. Three of the Aggies’ games this season are slated to appear on national television.
Broadcast information and kickoff times for 10 of New Mexico State football’s 12 games were announced Thursday by Conference USA, with the Aggies landing on national television at least three times.
Led by second-year head coach Tony Sanchez, three of NMSU’s games will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network and ESPN+ each. Four other contests are reserved for ESPN platforms, and could run on national television; further information for said games are expected to be announced closer to and throughout the season.
Kickoff times and broadcast details for the Aggies’ games at rival New Mexico (Sept. 27) and Tennessee (Nov. 15) are pending.
NMSU open its season with three straight games on ESPN+, including two home games against Bryant (Aug. 30, 7 p.m. MT) and Tulsa (Sept. 6, 7 p.m.) and its conference opener at Louisiana Tech (Sept. 13, 5:30 p.m.).
The Aggies will then play their entire midweek schedule on CBS Sports Network, featuring home games against Sam Houston State (Oct. 2, 7 p.m.) and Missouri State (Oct. 22, 7 p.m.) and a road contest at Liberty (Oct. 14, 5 p.m.).
Games at Western Kentucky (Nov. 1, 1:30 p.m.) and rival UTEP (Nov. 22, 1 p.m.) and against Kennesaw State (Nov. 8, 2 p.m.) and Middle Tennessee State (Nov. 29, 1 p.m.) have all been reserved for ESPN platforms. NMSU’s tilt with Kennesaw State will serve as its Homecoming game.
