Charlotte, NC – The Big South Conference and Monmouth University have announced the television slate for the 27^th year of Hawk football.
 
All seven of Monmouth's conference games will air on the ESPN digital family of networks, including three matchups on ESPN3. The October 19^th home game against Gardner-Webb, the November 2 game against Kennesaw State and the November 16 game against Campbell have all been selected for airing on ESPN3.  The final game of the season is slated as a 'Wild Card' selection, meaning Monmouth's home tilt against Hampton on November 23 could be flexed from ESPN+ to ESPN3. All other contests will air on ESPN+.
 
Monmouth will open up the season on August 31 with a 7 PM game on ESPN3 against FBS foe Western Michigan. Monmouth's non-conference home matchups against Lafayette (Sept. 7) and Albany (Sept. 14) are slated for a ESPN+ broadcast. 
 
Streaming video information for away contests at Montana and at Wagner will be announced at a later date, however all Monmouth road contests can be heard on ShoreSportsNetwork.com and locally on 1160 AM.
 
Monmouth, which is coming off of back to back eight-win seasons was selected to finish second in the 2019 Big South Preseason Poll. The Hawks have the Preseason Big South Offensive Player of the Year in fifth-year senior QB Kenji Bahar (Baltimore, MD/Calvert Hall) along with five additional Hawks earning All-Big South honors.
