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 runs through the 2026-27 athletic year. ESPN's contract includes the ability to sublicense games and guaranteed 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. ESPN3 will be used for any game not distributed on some form of national or regional television. ESPN is working with the schools to self-produce ESPN3 content, providing them with production equipment.

Starting with the 2015 season, Sinclair's American Sports Network, CBS Sports Network and Buckeye Cable will sublicense MAC content from ESPN. CBSSN will sublicense twelve football games and this agreement ends after the 2018-19 athletic year. American Sports Network will sublicense ten football games for the 2016 season from ESPN. Buckeye Cable will show at least three football games per season and work to clear the games on other cable systems in the MAC footprint.
