American Conference, ESPN announce pair of network designations for UTSA games

IRVING, Texas — Officials from the American Conference and ESPN announced Monday that UTSA’s road game at Tulane on Saturday, Oct. 24, has been selected for an ESPNU broadcast at 7 p.m. in New Orleans, Louisiana. Additionally, the Roadrunners’ home game against Tulsa has been designated for a national television audience on ESPN at either 11 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 27, as part of the league’s Black Friday matchups.

This will mark the fourth meeting between the Roadrunners and Green Wave on the gridiron. UTSA holds a 2-1 edge in the series after a 48-26 home triumph on Oct. 30, 2025. Tulane posted a 29-16 victory on Nov. 24, 2023, in New Orleans in what was UTSA’s first season as a member of the American, while the Roadrunners registered a 10-7 victory on Nov. 9, 2013, in the inaugural matchup when both teams were in Conference USA.

UTSA and Tulsa will meet for the third time in a series that is knotted at 1-1. The Roadrunners won the first meeting, 34-15, on Nov. 2, 2013, when both teams were in Conference USA. The Golden Hurricane slipped past UTSA, 46-45, on Oct. 26, 2024. Both games were played in Tulsa, as this will be the first matchup held in San Antonio.

The other American Conference Black Friday contest on Nov. 27 will feature Temple versus Memphis. The game time for UTSA’s regular season finale versus Tulsa will be determined two weeks out.

Winners of three straight and off to their best start since 2021, the Roadrunners (5-1, 2-0) will host Navy (2-3, 1-2) this Saturday, Oct. 17. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at the Alamodome and the game will be televised nationally on ESPNU.
