PERKINSTON — Mississippi Gulf Coast Football will appear on an ESPN platform again in 2024. The NJCAA announced its complete ESPN+ schedule Friday, and the Bulldogs’ game at Copiah-Lincoln will be televised.
Kickoff for the Game of the Week on Oct. 17 will be 6:30 p.m. in Wesson.
It’s the third national broadcast of a Gulf Coast game. The Bulldogs’ national championship win over Lackawanna in 2019 was aired by CBS Sports Network. Gulf Coast played East Mississippi two years ago on ESPN+.
It’ll be the 90th game against Co-Lin dating back to 1928. Gulf Coast owns a 55-32-2 advantage over the Wolves. The Bulldogs lost last year’s meeting 28-23 before rebounding to share the MACCC title with Co-Lin and Jones.
Co-Lin and Gulf Coast are back-to-back in the preseason NJCAA poll, popping up at 10th and 11th, respectively.
It will be the only MACCC appearance on the NJCAA’s slate of ESPN+ regular-season games. The rest can be found at https://www.njcaa.org/sports/fball/2024-25/releases/20240821jgf8ci.
