IRVING — Conference USA announced Thursday its broadcast schedule for the 2018 football season, and all 12 of UTSA's regular season games now have been selected for either traditional linear television or streaming and social media.
All game times also have been determined, as all six of UTSA's home contests will kick off at 6 p.m. at the Alamodome and will be available via streaming or social media.
The home opener against Baylor on Saturday, Sept. 8, will be produced by CBS Sports Network and air exclusively on Facebook. Under the direction of head coach Frank Wilson, the Roadrunners upended the Bears, 17-10, last year in Waco in the first matchup between the two schools for the program's first win against a team from a Power 5 conference.
The second annual H-E-B I-35 Showdown between UTSA and Texas State on Sept. 22 will be shown on ESPN+, ESPN's newly-launched multi-sport, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service. The Roadrunners routed the Bobcats, 44-14, last season in San Marcos and lead the all-time series, 2-0.
The Roadrunners' C-USA opener against UTEP on Sept. 29 also will air on ESPN+. UTSA scored a 31-14 victory in El Paso a season ago and holds a 3-2 edge in the series.
UTSA will host Louisiana Tech on Oct. 13 for Homecoming and the seventh all-time meeting between the two teams will be carried on ESPN+.
The final two home contests against FIU (Nov. 10) and North Texas (Nov. 24) also can be viewed on ESPN+.
The Roadrunners also saw four more road games picked up for broadcast following last week's announcement of TV broadcasts for the first two away contests.
UTSA will make the short drive to Houston to play Rice on Oct. 6. The seventh all-time meeting between the Roadrunners and the Owls will kick off at 6 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN3. UTSA posted a 20-7 win last fall in San Antonio to even the series record at 3-3.
UTSA and Southern Miss will face off for the fifth time on Oct. 20 at M.M. Roberts Stadium in Hattiesburg and that game will be shown on ESPN+ with a 6 p.m. kickoff.
