How to Watch: Cat-Griz football rivalry set for Nov. 22 in Missoula

BOZEMAN – The Brawl of the Wild football game always means a lot, but this year it means a little bit more.

Both the Montana State Bobcats and Montana Grizzlies are ranked in the top three teams in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision, and both are a perfect
7-0 in conference play leading into this Saturday’s Cat-Griz rivalry game. The Brawl will not only have powerful playoff implications, but will also determine the 2025 Big Sky Conference champion.

Kickoff is at noon in Missoula’s Washington-Grizzly Stadium, and fans not attending in person can support the Bobcats at watch parties around the state and have options to watch and listen to the game live.

The Brawl is the final game of the regular season. The day following the game, the NCAA will release brackets and playoff information for the top teams in the FCS. Both the Bobcats and the Griz will likely advance to the FCS playoffs, but this weekend’s game will be instrumental in determining their respective rankings, opponents and playoff locations.

The game will be available to stream on ESPN+, which requires a subscription, and broadcast on CBS stations across Montana, including KBZK in Bozeman.

Made possible through the MSU Alumni Foundation, watch parties will be hosted across the nation, including 19 events in Montana. A full list of watch parties can be found on the MSU Alumni Foundation website.

The Bobcat Radio Network will broadcast the game via The Varsity Network, which can be streamed online and on radio stations across the state. Specific station information can be found on the Bobcat Radio and Television webpage. Updates will be shared via Instagram @montanastatebobcats and on Facebook @Montana State Football.
