BIRMINGHAM – Highlighted by playing its first two games on the ESPN family of networks and having the home opener air on CBS Sports Network, the UAB football program has announced its complete TV schedule for the 2021 season.
The Blazers get Week 1 of college football started with a primetime ESPN matchup against in-state foe Jacksonville State at the Cramton Bowl for the Montgomery Kickoff. The game is slated for 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 1.
UAB travels to Athens, Ga., the following Saturday, Sept. 11, for a game at Georgia which airs on ESPN2 at 3:30 p.m. EST/2:30 p.m. CST.
The Blazers are slated to play on CBS Sports Network three times during the regular season, and potentially a fourth time if UAB makes the Conference USA Championship. UAB's games on CBSSN include its Protective Stadium opener against Liberty on Oct. 2 (6 p.m.), at home against Louisiana Tech on Nov. 6 (11 a.m.) and at Marshall on Nov. 13 (3:30 p.m. EST/2:30 p.m CST).
UAB will appear on Stadium three times this season, with the first coming at North Texas on Sept. 18 with kick set for 6:30 p.m. The two other Stadium games are when UAB hosts Florida Atlantic on Oct. 9 (2:30 p.m.) and when the Blazers visit Southern Miss on Oct. 16 (2:30 p.m.).
Conference USA contests that appear on ESPN3 or ESPN+ are home games against Rice (Oct. 23) and UTEP (Nov.27), and an away game at UTSA (Nov. 20 – 2:30 p.m.). The Rice and UTEP game times, along with UAB's non-conference matchup at Tulane, will be released 12 days prior to those kickoffs.
