Stadium, the new multi-platform sports network formed by Campus Insiders, 120 Sports and The American Sports Network, has partnered with Facebook to broadcast an exclusive package of 15 college football games live this season.
The lineup of games that includes nine Conference USA games and six from the Mountain West Conference will be custom-produced for a Facebook audience. Football personalities will hold live curated chat experiences during the production, a social production team and correspondents will work the sidelines of the game to engage fans in conversation, and social elements provided by the schools will be integrated.
The games are available to a global audience on the Stadium: Live College Football Show page. For fans watching in the U.S., the games can be found on Watch, Facebook’s new video platform.
The first two Facebook games will be Sept. 2 with a doubleheader as Miami (OH) takes on Marshall at 6:30 p.m. ET, and UC Davis and San Diego State go head-to-head at 8:30 p.m. ET.
