MIAMI (September 30, 2017) – Fans who can't make it out to FIU's home opener on Saturday at Riccardo Silva Stadium for the Panthers and Charlotte, can catch all of the action on beIN Sports. Mike Gleason will be calling the action while former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb will handle the color commentary. Michelle Gingras will be reporting from the sidelines. Fans can also listen to the game on 790 the Ticket, the Panthers' official radio broadcast home for the 2017 season. A.J. Ricketts (play-by-play) and Hurlie Brown (color analyst) will be in the booth all season long.
On Dish Network, beIN Sports can be seen on channel 408, and on DirecTV on channel 620.
Following their meeting with the 49ers, the Panthers will head back out on the road when they travel to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where they will meet Middle Tennessee on Oct. 7 at 3 p.m. ET. That game will be carried live on ESPN3.
