A week later, Miami hosts Holy Cross at home, with a 1 p.m. start that will stream on ESPN+. The broadcast promises to bring the RedHawks’ early‑season momentum to a wider audience.
On September 19, the team heads to Cincinnati for a 3:30 p.m. contest that will also be carried on ESPN+. The game represents one of the most anticipated early‑season rivalries for the program.
Later in the year, Miami will welcome Buffalo on November 3 at 7 p.m., host Ohio on November 10 at the same evening slot, and close the regular season at Kent State on November 17. All three of those contests will be broadcast on ESPN2, ESPNU or CBS Sports, ensuring that fans can follow the RedHawks deep into the fall.
The full schedule underscores the conference’s commitment to pairing competitive matchups with prominent media partners, giving both teams and viewers a dynamic platform for the 2026 season.
