PITTSBURGH – The Duquesne University Department of Athletics announced Wednesday that all five of its remaining home football games will be broadcast regionally on SportsNet Pittsburgh (SNP) during the 2025 season. 

"The opportunity to have every remaining home football game featured on SportsNet Pittsburgh is an incredible benefit for our program and fan base," Duquesne Vice President of Athletics Dave Harper said. "This type of exposure strengthens the visibility of Duquesne football across our region while complementing our growing national presence through the NEC's broadcast partnerships."

The package also features a flex week on Nov. 15, concluding with a wildcard matchup airing exclusively on ESPN+. Possible games include CCSU at Duquesne, LIU at Saint Francis U, Stonehill at Wagner or Robert Morris at Mercyhurst. This wildcard matchup will not be available on NEC Front Row. 

In 2025, RYZ Sports Network will carry a weekly NEC Football Game of the Week on its linear FAST (Free Ad-Supported TV) channel, available on Samsung TV+, Roku, Amazon, Xumo, Xfinity, LG and more. RYZ also reaches millions of viewers through the Atmosphere OOH network, airing live sports in restaurants, gyms, hotels, and other public venues nationwide.

Similar to "ManningCast"-style broadcasts, these creator-driven streams will feature interactive commentary and new engagement opportunities aimed at younger audiences.
