May 26, 2022 | Football
GREENVILLE, N.C. – The kickoff time for East Carolina's 2022 home opener against NC State, scheduled for September 3 at Dowdy-Ficken Stadium, has been set for a 12 noon (ET) and will be televised on ESPN according to an announcement by the American Athletic Conference Thursday afternoon.
Â
The American and its primary television partners also assigned start times for four other ECU games that were among its early broadcast selections, which includes a pair of Friday night road matchups against BYU (Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. ET) and Cincinnati (Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. ET). Both contests will be televised on ESPN2.
Â
Additionally, ECU's final two home non-conference tilts against Old Dominion on Sept. 10 and Campbell on Sept. 17 will be streamed on ESPN+ beginning at 6 p.m. (ET).
Â
East Carolina, which will play its ninth campaign in the AAC this fall under fourth-year head coach Mike Houston, closed the 2021 season winning four of its last five games before finishing with a 7-5 overall record. The Pirates earned an invitation to the Military Bowl in Annapolis, Md. but the game was canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Boston College program.
Â
Season tickets are on sale with packages starting as low as $125 (depending on location) each and purchases may be made via ECU's Online Ticket Center or by calling the Athletics Ticket Office at (252) 737-4500.
Â
The remainder of East Carolina's kickoff times will be announced once other television broadcast schedules have been finalized.
