BOZEMAN — After opening the college football season with two road games, Montana State will finally return to Bobcat Stadium for its 2024 home playoff game.

Montana State, which sits in third place in the FCS after opening the season with wins over FBS New Mexico and Utah Tech, welcomes the Maine Black Bears to Bozeman for the annual Gold Rush game. Maine opened the season last week with a 17-14 win over Colgate.

Kickoff between the Bobcats and Black Bears is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET and the game will be televised by Scripps Sports with Ben Creighton and Ty Gregorak on the line and Grace Lawrence on the sidelines. The broadcast will air on local CBS affiliates in Montana — KBZK in Bozeman, KTVQ in Billings, KXLF in Butte, KRTV in Great Falls, KXLH in Helena and KPAX in Missoula — and will be followed by the Scripps Sports Saturday Showdown Postgame Show.

The match can also be streamed on ESPN+.

The Scripps Sports Saturday Pregame Show airs on the MTN Channel, starting at 4:30 p.m. Learn more about the MTN Channel and where to find it.
