Griz spring games will be on TV, have some fans

This who have dearly missed Griz football - thew wait is almost over. And now Griz fans will also know just how they can watch them Montana football team play two games, and when.

Last week, the University of Montana announced that the Grizzlies will have a limited number of fans in attendance at its two spring football games, kick times have been confirmed, and Cowles Montana Media will provide a statewide broadcast with a world-wide stream available.

In partnership with the Missoula County Health Department, Montana will be permitted to welcome roughly 5,000 fans inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium when Central Washington and Portland State visit on April 10 and 17, respectively.

As for viewing, the telecast of Montana's two spring games will be provided by UM's broadcast partner Cowles Media Montana (owners of ABC, Fox, and SWX Montana), with similar viewing options as the Grizzlies' regular-season nonconference games.

For fans unable to attend, the game will be televised on one of Cowles' three stations across the state, with an in-state stream available on the Watch SWX App. Exact channel details will be announced in the near future.

Fans outside the state of Montana and around the world will also be able to watch both games via a global simulcast at GoGriz.com/watch for a nominal fee.

Montana was one of five Big Sky Conference schools that opted to play up to two games in a modified spring slate that falls more in-line with the traditional spring calendar, instead of a full six-game spring schedule. The Montana State Bobcats originally did so as well, but, likely due to the head coaching change this winter, MSU hasn't announced any spring games.

The Grizzlies opened their spring practice period on March 12. The 21-practice season will conclude with the April 17 game against Portland State. Both games kick off at 11 a.m.

Ticketing details and attendee health and safety guidelines will be announced in the near future.
