Every home game on the 2018 Western Kentucky football schedule will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT, WKU announced Thursday.

Eleven of the Hilltoppers’ 12 regular-season games have been confirmed on the national broadcast schedule, Conference USA announced.

WKU will have four games air on the ESPN family of networks as part of a new agreement also announced Thursday by the league.

The 2018 season opener at Wisconsin, as previously reported, will air on ESPN.

Three other games – the home opener against Maine (Sept. 8), at Charlotte (Oct. 13) and vs. Old Dominion (Oct. 20) – will air on the newly-launched ESPN+ platform.

ESPN+ is a digital subscription service that costs $4.99 a month or $49.99 per year. C-USA announced a deal Thursday to air 175 events on ESPN+ and ESPN3 for the upcoming 2018-19 season.

The Hilltoppers open Conference USA season at home vs. Marshall on Sept. 29 and will be broadcast on Stadium, while the Nov. 10 contest at Florida Atlantic will be streamed on Facebook through Stadium.

BeIN Sports will carry WKU’s final two home games: against Florida International on Oct. 27 for homecoming, then Texas-El Paso on Nov. 17 for senior night.

In addition, road contests against Middle Tennessee on Nov. 2 and Louisiana Tech on Nov. 24 can be seen on CBS Sports Network.

In postseason play, the 2018 Conference USA Championship game Dec. 1 will also be shown on CBSSN. ESPN is scheduled to carry all six of the league’s bowl games in which it has a guaranteed selection.
