GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The national television packages for the Big 12 Conference were announced Thursday, with the North Dakota at Iowa State game included in the announcement. The two teams will battle at 2:30 p.m. (CT) on Saturday, Aug. 31 and the game will air on Fox Sports 1.
Iowa State will be only the fifth team from the current Big 12 Conference to be featured on a North Dakota schedule. Most recently, the Fighting Hawks visited the Utes of Utah on Aug. 31, 2017, and fell 37-16. UND has also played Arizona State (1940), TCU (1933) and Texas Tech (2009), all of which are members of the Big 12 Conference in 2024.
The Aug. 31 game will be the 2024 season opener for both teams and the first-ever meeting between North Dakota and Iowa State.
UND will also be featured in a pair of road contests announced as MVFC "Game of the Week" selections on ESPN+, the conference announced on Thursday afternoon. North Dakota at Indiana State on Nov. 2 will be the first game that airs on ESPN+ as a Game of the Week for UND, before the Hawks will also be featured on Nov. 23 in the regular season finale at Illinois State. Kickoff times for both of UND's Games of the Week will be announced at a later date.
