The Missouri Valley Football Conference will have more than 60 events on ESPN networks and streaming services during the 2019 season.

The Conference will produce eight league games as part of its 2019 Game of the Week package, with each streaming live as part of the “Valley Football on ESPN” – the league’s co-branded digital presentation.

Youngstown State kicks off the season as it faces Samford on ESPN (2 pm CT) in the Guardian Credit Union FCS Kickoff in Montgomery, Ala., on Saturday, Aug. 24. The league’s eight-game production schedule begins on Saturday, Oct. 12, with a doubleheader featuring South Dakota at Missouri State at 2 pm CT and Illinois State at Southern Illinois at 6 pm CT.

An additional 60 games will stream live in conjunction with MVFC institutional packages, with all the games carried on “Valley Football on ESPN.” Of the league’s 62 regular-season home contests, 13 will stream on ESPN3, and the remaining 49 will appear exclusively on ESPN+ — the leading multisport streaming service.
