Conference USA announces this season’s broadcast selections and times for LA Tech Football

RUSTON – Louisiana Tech, in conjunction with Conference USA, announced its broadcast schedule Friday for the 2020 football season as all 11 regular season games are slated for television or a digital format.

The only contest that wasn’t included in Friday’s release is the Bulldogs season opener at Baylor, a game that will be televised. However, broadcast information and kickoff time is still to be determined by the Big 12.

The current confirmed schedule features games to air nationally by the league’s primary partners and every C-USA football game is expected to be available on traditional linear television or via digital streaming.

C-USA games will be available this fall via CBS Sports Network, Stadium, ESPN and ESPN Digital. The majority of these exposures will take place on Saturday, with select Thursday and Friday night telecasts also being featured.

Some non-conference C-USA games will also be made available as part of other conferences television agreements. Those games will continue to be added to the schedule this fall as part of those agreements.

LA Tech will have two games aired on CBS Sports Network, beginning with its home contest against Marshall on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 5 p.m. (CT), at Joe Aillet Stadium. On Saturday, Nov. 7, Louisiana Tech will travel to North Texas for a 5 p.m. (CT), kick at Apogee Stadium on CBS Sports Network.

A pair of Louisiana Tech games will be broadcast by Stadium, starting on Saturday, Oct. 31, when the Bulldogs host UAB at 2:30 p.m. (CT). Kickoff for LA Tech’s neutral site game against ULM on Saturday, Nov. 21, at Independence Stadium is set for 3 p.m. (CT), on Stadium.

Six additional kickoff times have been set for the 2020 season and will be broadcast by ESPN 3/+, beginning with Louisiana Tech’s conference opener at Southern Miss on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 6:30 p.m. (CT), at M.M. Roberts Stadium. The Bulldogs will then host Houston Baptist in their home opener on Saturday, Sept. 26, at 6 p.m. (CT). LA Tech will have another home contest against UTEP on Saturday, Oct. 10, with a 6 p.m. (CT), kick.

On Saturday, Oct. 24, LA Tech will take on UTSA on the road at 2:30 p.m. (CT), at the Alamodome. Two Louisiana Tech November games will be also broadcast by ESPN 3/+, beginning with LA Tech’s home contest against Rice on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 2:30 p.m. (CT), and followed by the Bulldogs’ regular season finale at FIU on Saturday, Nov. 28, at 11 a.m. (CT), at Riccardo Silva Stadium.

The 2020 C-USA Championship game, slated for Saturday, Dec. 5, will air on CBS Sports Network. Kickoff time will be announced at a later date.

Additional Conference USA football broadcast exposures will be released as soon as they are finalized. Please note that all dates and times are subject to change.

Season tickets are on sale through the Tech Ticket Office by calling (318) 257-3631. The University has announced a ticket assurance plan for football season ticket holders in preparation for the 2020 season at Joe Aillet Stadium.

In the event that any of the home football games are canceled as a result of the public health threat of COVID-19, season ticket holders will have the following options:
• Credit toward the 2021 home season (features six games, including a non-conference contest against SMU)
• Apply season ticket purchase to the Louisiana Tech Athletic Club (LTAC) as a donation for this year (100 percent tax deduction)
• Full refund on games that are impacted

At this time, LA Tech officials have not made a decision on any limited seating (i.e 50% capacity in Joe Aillet Stadium) but will look to make those determinations in the coming weeks as more information becomes available.
