COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Five games have been slated for national television including the Lobo debut of head coach Bronco Mendenhall as the Mountain West released the television designations and times for the league’s 12 schools.
Additionally, the Big XII, the SEC and Conference USA also announced their schedules which include road games for New Mexico.
Overall, the Lobos will have three games, two home, on the Fox Family of Networks, and two games on ESPN’s over the air networks.
UNM’s 2024 schedule will open on Week 0 with a nationally televised game with Montana State. The Lobos and the Bobcats, meeting for the first time ever, will kickoff at 2 pm at University Stadium in the debut of head coach Bronco Mendenhall on the UNM sidelines. That game is the earliest home game in program history. UNM will also have its season home finale against Washington State broadcast on one of the Fox networks.
UNM’s three non-conference road games all now have kickoff times.
