West Virginia vs. Coastal Carolina channel, live stream, time, TV schedule to watch Saturday college football game
WVU and Coastal open their 2026 seasons Saturday. Here's when and where to watch.
West Virginia University's football team will take on Coastal Carolina during their 2026 season opener on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 12 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast nationally on TNT and truTV, with TNT being the primary TV channel. TNT and truTV are the live stream platforms for the match, accessible via DIRECTV. Rich Rodriguez is back at West Virginia after a year of reshaping the program, which saw the Mountaineers finish with a 4-8 record in their last season.
A significant portion of their roster, around 88 players, are new to the team. Quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr., who transferred from Oklahoma, will be one of the standout players for WVU. Coastal Carolina, on the other hand, is led by new head coach Ryan Beard, who brought in 39 Division I transfers to rebuild the Chanticleers' roster.
A dozen of these transfers came directly from Beard's previous team, Missouri State. Coastal's new coach Beard has kept his starting quarterback plans under wraps, but Deuce Bailey, who also transferred in from Missouri State, could potentially start at QB.
