LAS VEGAS - San Diego State's season-opening game against Eastern Illinois, scheduled for Aug. 31, will mark the first of five Saturday contests that will be streamed live exclusively on the Mountain West Network after the conference announced its initial digital telecast schedule for the 2013 football season on Tuesday.
The Aztecs-Panthers tilt is slated for a 5 p.m. PT kickoff at Qualcomm Stadium and will be followed by the annual KGB SkyShow, the largest fireworks display in San Diego.
The MWN will also carry UNLV's non-conference meeting with Central Michigan on Sept. 14, as well as three Mountain West matchups, beginning with UNLV at Fresno State on Oct. 19, followed by San Jose State at UNLV (Nov. 2) and Fresno State at Wyoming (Nov. 9).
In addition to these five MW-network produced games, the MWN will also retain the digital streaming rights to 10 ROOT SPORTS football telecasts, including SDSU's home clash with New Mexico, slated for Saturday, Nov. 2. Digital streams of those games, including the Aztecs-Lobos encounter, will be made available on the MWN in those areas that fall outside both the ROOT SPORTS Rocky Mountain and Northwest territories, and any additional markets for which the games have been sublicensed to local cable or broadcast networks.
The MWN will also endeavor to carry streams from the games that currently remain untelevised and may be produced or streamed by the host institution or a local television provider.
On Monday, SDSU was picked to finish second in the West Division of Mountain West in the 2013 preseason poll, as voted on by media representatives who cover the conference.
Season and single-game tickets for Aztec football can be purchased online through GoAztecs.com, over the phone by calling (619) 283-7378, or by visiting the Aztec Ticket Office at Qualcomm Stadium Window E from 9 a.m. PT-5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday.
