ESPN College GameDay heads to Aggieland for Miami’s College Football Playoff opener next week, turning Miami-Texas A&M into the center of the sport. The crew selected the first-round matchup between No. 10 Miami and No. 7 Texas A&M at Kyle Field on Dec. 20, giving the Hurricanes another mega-stage moment in a season full of them.
Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, Nick Saban and the rest of the panel handle the three-hour GameDay broadcast from 8 to 11 a.m. Eastern on ESPN, with streaming through the ESPN app. GameDay rolls through a rare two-stop weekend: a Friday show from Norman for Alabama–Oklahoma, then a quick turnaround to College Station for Miami–Texas A&M.
Kickoff for Miami-Texas A&M follows at noon from Kyle Field. ABC handles the main broadcast, with ESPN picking up a simulcast for cable viewers and out-of-market feeds. Sean McDonough handles play-by-play alongside analyst Greg McElroy, with Molly McGrath and Taylor McGregor working the sidelines.
On the radio side, the Hurricanes Sports Network delivers every snap. Flagship station 104.3 WQAM/560 AM in Miami–Fort Lauderdale carries the English call throughout South Florida.
Spanish-language coverage comes through Radio Libre 790 AM, giving bilingual fans another option for game audio. Anyone who prefers a campus-flavored broadcast can tune in to WVUM 90.5 FM, the student-run station that handles a wide slate of Miami sports and streams worldwide at wvum.org. Both WQAM and WVUM provide online streams, so out-of-market fans only need a phone, tablet or laptop for live audio.
