MAC Broadcast Schedule

NOTE: This list includes telecasts that fall under the TV contracts for the conference. Any road non-conference games fall under the home team's telecast rights.

The MAC has a national cable contract with ESPN Networks. The contract, which was to end after the 2016-17 athletic year, has been extended by mutual consent of ESPN and the conference through to the 2026-27 athletic year. A contract with Time Warner Cable for regional distribution was voided in the process, though the additions to ESPN's contract includes the ability to sublicense games and guranteed coverage for all MAC games.

The previous contract allowed for at least six regular season games will air on ESPN or ESPN2, plus a minimum of five games on ESPNU. For regional television, ESPN Regional TV aired games over six weekends on local stations and Time Warner carried a minimum of three games. ESPN3 will now be used for any game not distributed on some form of national or regional television.
