Cincinnati Football: TV coverage, commentators, where to watch Week 2 matchup

The Cincinnati Bearcats are back at Nippert Stadium for the home opener on Saturday afternoon against Kennesaw State. Although it won’t be nationally broadcasted, the game is expected to be available for streaming on ESPN+ and FuboTV.

Following the season-opening loss at Arkansas, the Bearcats should be able to bounce back with a comfortable win this weekend. Kick off is scheduled for 3:30 PM at Nippert Stadium, which will likely be near full capacity at approximately 40,000.

According to 506 Sports, the commentators on the ESPN+ broadcast will be Tony Simeone and Taylor McHargue. Simeone covers a lot of Notre Dame games for NBC Sports, while McHargue was hired by ESPN in recent years after his football career.

After growing up in Cedar Park, the Texas native spent four seasons as quarterback at Rice before moving to the broadcast booth. McHargue called Texas Tech’s home opener against Murray State last week alongside Noah Reed.

ESPN+ is set to broadcast the home opener on Saturday against Kennesaw State and additional coverage will be on FuboTV and WatchESPN. The Bearcats are also expected to be on ESPN networks next week and in November against East Carolina.

Cincinnati is currently favored by 28 points prior to kick off and should be able to dominate this week. It’s likely going to be a double-digit advantage early on unless the Bearcats get off to another slow start and allow Kennesaw State to stay within reach.

The Bearcats have a chance to extend its 27-game winning streak at Nippert Stadium, which is the second longest active home streak in the country behind Clemson (34), and you can make sure to catch all the action this Saturday on ESPN+ and FuboTV.
