Critical Planner! Eleven Montana Griz Football Kickoff Times Set

For thousands of fans, all Saturday activities revolve around those important kickoff times.

And we are finally getting close to firming up all 12 games on the schedule for the 2025 University of Montana Grizzly football season. Close, but not quite.

UM's Director of Communications for Football, Eric Taber, tells us that Kickoff times and TV details were announced for the majority of Montana's 12 game football season today (Wednesday) with the Big Sky Conference finalizing its full league schedule.

The Grizzlies will become the first Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team to play eight regular season home games in 2025, with most set to start in the traditional early afternoon time slot. Montana will open the season at Washington-Grizzly Stadium against Central Washington at 6:00 pm, but six of the remaining seven home games will start mid-day. The only start time yet to be determined is the September 27 contest against Idaho. The guess here is that will be an evening affair. But a late-September evening game? Hey, that can't be the worst thing.

TWO EVENING BATTLES ON THE ROAD

The Griz travel to Idaho State on October for a 6:00pm kickoff, Sacramento State on Friday, October 24 with a 8:30 pm Mountain Time start, Weber State on November 1 at 1:00 pm, and Portland State on November 15 at 3:00 pm Mountain Time for their Big Sky road schedule.

Montana will face the daunting task of playing 12 consecutive games without a bye week, some might say the tradeoff for getting 8 home games.

MEDIA COVERAGE FOR 2025

Various delivery systems will be used for TV coverage during the season. But as usual, all radio broadcasts will air in Missoula on KGVO, 98.3 FM and 1290 AM, starting two hours before kickoff with the expanded pregame broadcasts.

Here's what we know so far:
