Nine of UNLV’s 12 football games this season will be televised after ROOT SPORTS announced Thursday that the network will show two Rebels home games this year.
The network, which is available in Southern Nevada by satellite only (DirecTV channel 683, DISH channel 5414 HD), will televise UNLV’s games at Sam Boyd Stadium against Colorado State on Oct. 22 at 2:30 p.m. and Wyoming on Nov. 12 at either noon or 12:30 p.m.
The Rebels open the season by hosting Jackson State on Sept. 1. The game is one of three on UNLV’s schedule that has yet to be assigned a television partner or kickoff time.
