San Diego State football's 2017 season opener against UC Davis on Sept. 2 will air exclusively on Facebook through the Mountain West's partnership with Stadium, the conference office announced Wednesday.

One of six Mountain West football games that will be streamed live on Facebook this season, the Facebook MW Package kicks off with the Aztecs' game against the Aggies, which is slated for a 5:30 p.m. PT start at San Diego Stadium (formerly Qualcomm Stadium). The game will be followed by the 42nd annual KGB SkyShow, the largest fireworks show in the area.

All 12 of San Diego State's games will now be on either television or streamed online. Nine of SDSU's contests have start times with only road games slated for ESPN Networks (ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3) at UNLV (Oct. 7), at Hawai'i (Oct. 28) and San José State (Nov. 4) yet to be determined. Typically the start times and broadcast station for the ESPN Network games will be announced 12 days out from the scheduled date.

SDSU is coming off an 11-3 season, knocking off Wyoming, 27-24, in the MW Championship game and Houston, 34-10, in the Las Vegas Bowl, to finish with a No. 25 ranking in both the AP Top 25 poll and the Amway Coaches Poll. It was just the second time that San Diego State has been ranked in the final AP poll in program history (also 1977). The 11 wins tied a school single-season record as the Aztecs became the first team in program history with back-to-back 11-win campaigns.

SDSU has been picked to win the West Division for a third straight year and for a second consecutive season garnered all the first-place votes in the division. Additionally, San Diego State is receiving votes in both the preseason AP Top 25 poll and the Amway Coaches Poll.

Aztec football season tickets, mini plans and single-game tickets are now on sale. Season tickets start at $125, while mini plans start at $90. Fans can purchase tickets at GoAztecs.com, over the phone by calling (619) 283-7378, or by visiting Qualcomm Stadium's Window E Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. PT and 5 p.m. PT.
