KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The MIAA Football Game of the Week on Kansas City's 38 The Spot is returning for 2026 and Griffon Football is set to be televised three times this season.
 
MoWest's road game at Central Missouri on Thursday, September 3 at 7 p.m. will be televised on The Spot. The Griffons are then back on The Spot in consecutive weeks in October.
 
MoWest will be televised on Saturday, October 3 at Emporia State (1 p.m.) and then at home on Saturday, October 10 vs. Nebraska-Kearney. That'll be a prime time kickoff at 6 p.m. It'll also be MoWest's annual Homecoming game.
 
Viewers in St. Joseph can watch 38 The Spot on Optimum Channel 17, and Channel 38 on United Fiber, DirecTV and Dish Network. It's also broadcast free over-the-air on Channel 38.1.
 
With the MIAA's continued partnership with 38 The Spot (KMCI), Griffon fans in the greater Kansas City viewing area will have the chance to watch some of the best matchups in the MIAA this season.

38 The Spot will broadcast 13 MIAA football games to TV audiences in greater Kansas City this fall. All 10 MIAA teams will be featured throughout the schedule, with at least one live TV broadcast from nine different MIAA campuses. This is the first time that the MIAA Football Game of the Week schedule will feature 13 games.
 
All MIAA football contests will continue to be streamed live on The MIAA Network.

"We're very excited to enter our third year featuring a MIAA Football TV Game of the Week on the Spot, Kansas City 38," said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy. " Kansas City continues to be a great platform for sports television, 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 could help drive new patrons to The MIAA Network."
 
"With at least one live television broadcast on nine different MIAA football campuses this fall, our athletic programs and universities will have the potential to reach new fans, supporters, donors, and prospective student-athletes in a 200-mile radius of the Kansas City metro," Racy added.

MIAA football fans can view the complete 13-week schedules for all ten MIAA football teams at theMIAA.com/football.
