Absence of Pay-Per-View for University of Hawaii's Football Matches in 2025
Hawaii's Home Games to Remain on Spectrum Sports for Another Year
The University of Hawaii (UH) has announced that its home games will continue to be aired on Spectrum Sports, following the extension of the contract between the two parties. This news was shared by Matt Elliot, the university's athletics director, on social media.
The current TV deal, which has been in effect since 2011, replacing KFVE, was set to expire in June. However, it has now been extended for an additional year. This means that Hawaii's home football games this season, including the season-opener against Stanford (which is being broadcast by CBS), will be televised live on Spectrum Sports.
Apart from the home football games, Spectrum Sports will also broadcast the remaining six home games of UH's athletic events. Notably, there will be no additional cost for watching UH's home games on Spectrum Sports. Furthermore, there will be no broadcast delays for UH's home games on Spectrum Sports.
For fans who are unable to attend the games in person, the Mountain West app will make Hawaii football games available for viewers outside of Hawaii. This platform will provide a way for fans across the globe to catch the action live.
It's worth noting that the new TV deal for the Mountain West Conference, which includes football and men's basketball, does not begin until 2026. As such, the current arrangement between UH and Spectrum Sports will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
For viewers outside of Hawaii, college football games might be available through various networks such as ESPN, CBS Sports Network, or specific conference networks, including the Big West Conference streaming platforms or ESPN+ for games involving Big West teams. Other sports apps like ESPN, CBS All Access (now known as Paramount+), or other sports streaming services may also provide coverage.
It's advisable to check the official University of Hawaii Athletics website or relevant sports networks for specific broadcasting details and full access information.
In conclusion, UH's home games will continue to be aired on Spectrum Sports for the 2021-2022 season. Fans are encouraged to buy tickets to one or more of UH's home games this season and enjoy the live action, whether in person or through their TV screens.
Fans can look forward to watching all of the University of Hawaii's home football games, including American-football and NCAA-football games, on Spectrum Sports during the 2021-2022 season, without any additional cost or broadcast delays. Additionally, for those who are unable to attend games in person, Spectrum Sports will also broadcast the remaining six home games of UH's athletic events.
