PRINCETON, N.J. – As the Ivy League prepares for its historic debut in the FCS Playoffs, the league has announced that six football games — including two matchups between reigning co-champions — will air nationally on ESPNU during the 2025 season.
One of the premier linear packages in the FCS, this is the seventh consecutive year that all eight programs are included.
