ESPN's Bob Wischusen covers Texas A&M vs Missouri | Watch on ABC and ESPN Unlimited

The NCAA Division I FBS competition between the Texas A&M and Missouri teams lands on 10 October 2026, with coverage kicking off at 17:00 UK time. The broadcast will be fronted by Bob Wischusen, ESPN's long-serving voice across college football, basketball, golf and the NHL, who will handle play-by-play as Louis Riddick comes alongside him as co-commentator. Reporting from the sideline will be Stormy Buonantony, while the former official role is taken up by Matt Austin.

This trio will team up together for the first time as a group on ABC and ESPN Unlimited, according to the ESPN Press Room's announcement of the 2026–27 college football commentator teams. That makes this competition the debut moment for a coverage configuration that has not before been put out on air, which is worth flagging for viewers who have followed the ESPN college football line-up across previous seasons.

Where to watch

The competition will be broadcast through the American channel, with coverage delivered on ABC and ESPN Unlimited. These are the ESPN-family outlets carrying the play-by-play, and they are the places to tune in for the full running commentary as the two teams battle it out.

It is worth noting that no British channels have been assigned to this particular competition. Coverage for those watching on Sky, ITV or the world feed has not been confirmed, so viewers in the United Kingdom should expect to rely on the ABC and ESPN Unlimited feed for the running commentary.

Meet the commentators

Bob Wischusen is a long-serving ESPN voice, with a reputation for covering college football as well as the college basketball, golf and NHL circuits. He is also the radio voice for the New York Jets, which adds another strand to his portfolio as one of ESPN's most recognisable commentator voices. For this competition, Wischusen takes on the play-by-play role that has become a staple of the ESPN college football coverage.

Louis Riddick comes in as co-commentator, and is best known to many viewers for his work alongside the main commentator. The two have been paired before on ESPN's Division I FBS coverage, and their partnership has been a feature of recent competitions in the 2026–27 line-up.

Stormy Buonantony reports from the sideline, giving her the role of tracking events and relaying play-by-play updates as they happen. Her presence on this coverage marks the first time the trio of Wischusen, Riddick and Buonantony have been put together as a group.

A first for the trio

The ESPN Press Room announcement makes clear that Bob Wischusen, Louis Riddick and Stormy Buonantony will team up together for the first time as a trio. That is the key reason this competition is worth watching, as it represents a new configuration for ESPN's college football coverage.

The former official role is handled by Matt Austin, who rounds out the coverage alongside the main commentator and co-commentator. His presence adds another layer to the running commentary as the teams battle it out.
