The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) released its 2025 football television schedule on Friday, confirming that games will appear on ABC, ESPN2, ESPNU, and ESPN+.
The schedule opens Aug. 23 with the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge in Atlanta, which will air nationally on ABC. The regular season will feature a slate of conference matchups streamed or televised on ESPN platforms throughout the fall.
The television package concludes Dec. 13 with the Cricket Celebration Bowl, the annual matchup between the MEAC and Southwestern Athletic Conference champions, broadcast on the ESPN family of networks.
“The visibility provided by this partnership with ESPN allows us to showcase our institutions, student-athletes and fans on a national stage,” MEAC Commissioner Sonja Stills said in a statement.
The MEAC’s broadcast agreement with ESPN continues a relationship that has given historically Black colleges and universities regular national exposure.
