MVC and ESPN agree to football broadcast deal through 2023

Per the agreement, all conference and most home non-conference games will be broadcast on ESPN3, the free streaming service of ESPN.

“The most far reaching way to showcase the Missouri Valley Football Conference is by distributing our games and our goal is to make all of our games – conference and non-conference — available to our fans,” said Commissioner Patty Viverito in a release Monday. “We are elated with this agreement with ESPN and, this fall and in every year of the contract, we will have more than 50 Valley football games available on ESPN3 nationwide.”

Last season, 49 MVC regular season football games were available on ESPN3, which is available in almost 99 million homes.
