Kennesaw State Announces 2026 Football Broadcast Schedule
Conference USA, in partnership with CBS and ESPN, has released the kickoff times and television designations for every Kennesaw State Owls football contest in the 2026 season. The announcement, which covers the full slate of twelve games, underscores a significant increase in national exposure for the program.
A total of five contests are slated for national television, marking a milestone for the Owls as they seek to broaden their audience beyond the regional market. The schedule reflects the conference's confidence in the team's growing competitiveness.
The season will open with a home double‑header against West Georgia and Georgia State, setting a festive tone for fans eager to see the new‑look roster in action. Both games are scheduled for Saturday evenings, promising a lively atmosphere at the university's on‑campus stadium.
A highlight of the slate is the September 19 showdown with the University of Tennessee, set for a 7:45 p.m. kickoff on the SEC Network. The matchup pits the Owls against a traditional powerhouse and will be streamed live to millions of viewers across the country.
Adding to the excitement, Kennesaw State will appear on four straight CBS Sports Network broadcasts later in the season, a streak that experts say could boost recruiting and alumni engagement.
The Owls finished the previous year unbeaten at home, posting a flawless 6‑0 record that helped cement their reputation as a formidable venue opponent. Building on that momentum, the coaching staff is optimistic about maintaining that edge.
Season tickets for the 2026 campaign are now on sale, with prices starting at $125 for the most affordable seats. Early‑bird purchasers will also receive a complimentary merchandise bundle, encouraging fans to lock in their spots early.
