KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The MIAA has announced that its partnership with Scripps Media and their independent television station, KMCI (38 The Spot), will broadcast an MIAA Football Game of the Week again in the 2025 season.
Serving the greater Kansas City area, KMCI, 38 The Spot, will once again broadcast 12 MIAA football games to local television audiences.
The schedule has been designed to provide one of the conference's best matchups each Saturday in the 2025 NCAA Division II season.
All MIAA football contests will continue to be streamed live on The MIAA Network as well.
Missouri Western will play in the Game of the Week twice in 2025, first at Missouri Southern on Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. and then at home the following week against Washburn on Nov. 1 at 2 p.m.
"We are excited to enter our second year featuring a 12-week MIAA Football TV Game of the Week on 38 The Spot," said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy." This is a great Kansas City sports television platform, which helps the MIAA office reach new audiences to showcase some of the best collegiate football programs in the Midwest."
"We also know that this exposure will help drive many new patrons to The MIAA Network," Racy explained. "We will have at least one live television broadcast from each of our ten MIAA football campuses this fall, and this provides our MIAA athletic programs and universities with a three-hour infomercial to reach new fans, supporters, donors, and prospective student- athletes in a 200-mile radius of the Kansas City metro."
"It is great to be talking about the return of fall football and having the MIAA Football Game of the Week back on KMCI, 38 The Spot," said Kathleen Choal, Regional Vice President and General Manager of KSHB and KMCI. "It is clear our audience really loves these teams and they enjoy watching the weekly matchups on 38 the Spot."
The broadcast schedule for the league's 12 NCAA Division II football contests to be aired on live television is listed below. Six of the 12 games on the schedule will feature
teams ranked in the very first 2025 NCAA Division II football preseason rankings.
