ESPN+ will air two separate live feeds from the American Conference Media Day, scheduled for July 23‑24 in St. Petersburg, Florida, giving viewers a front‑row view of the event’s press conferences and behind‑the‑scenes moments.
The coverage kicks off at 11 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, with a full slate of sessions that will run through Friday morning, culminating in Commissioner Tim Pernetti’s keynote address at 8:05 a.m. ET on Friday.
Navy’s head coach Brian Newberry is slated to hold a formal press conference at 10:40 a.m., and he will be joined on the American Kickoff Show at 11:00 a.m. by senior co‑captain quarterback Braxton Woodson and senior co‑captain safety Giuseppe Sessi.
Fans of all 14 member institutions — including Navy, East Carolina, UTSA, Rice, Tulsa, Temple, North Texas, Charlotte, Tulane, Memphis, Army, UAB, Florida Atlantic and South Florida — will enjoy unprecedented access to press conferences and meet‑and‑greet opportunities with top coaches and players.
Media sessions will continue on Friday morning, featuring press conferences from each of the 14 head coaches, while the behind‑the‑scenes segments will reveal how the television production team is shaping the broadcast.
A Dual‑Feed Strategy for Deeper Engagement
By offering two distinct feeds, ESPN+ aims to cater to both die‑hard followers who want every word from the coaches and casual fans seeking a glimpse of the personalities that drive their teams forward.
The initiative underscores the league’s commitment to transparency and fan interaction, marking a significant step in how college sports media is produced and consumed.
