WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — As the William & Mary football team enters its first season in the Patriot League this fall, Tribe fans will have an exciting new way to follow the action with 10 games scheduled to be broadcast on ESPN+.
 
In addition to all nine of W&M's Patriot League contests, the Tribe's non-conference home matchup versus Delaware State will also be available on ESPN+.
 
Live audio broadcasts of all 12 Tribe football games will also be available on 92.3 The Tide radio and at TideRadio.com.
 
Longtime Voice of the Tribe Jay Colley will handle the play-by-play duties, while former W&M NCAA record-setting quarterback Shawn Knight will provide analysis for most televised home games. Andrew Phillips will return for the home radio broadcasts to handle play-by-play and will be joined by former W&M football alum Gareth Hissong as the analyst. Colley will partner with Hissong on the radio network for most road games this season.
 
The Patriot League and ESPN recently reached a multi-year extension to keep ESPN+ and the ESPN App as the exclusive digital home for live and archived Patriot League sporting events. ESPN+ will remain home to more than 750 annual Patriot League events, including all home contests in football.
