Arizona State travel to Texas A&M in a Week 2 NCAA Division I FBS showdown on Saturday, 12 September 2026, with the game set for ABC in the United States and ESPN Unlimited as the streaming option for viewers looking to watch online. The broadcast team for the national telecast is Tom Hart on play-by-play, Jesse Palmer as analyst and Kris Budden reporting from the sideline, while ESPN Radio coverage features Mike Couzens, Max Starks and Mike Peasley.
The matchup is being played at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, with kick-off listed at 11:00 local time, which is 17:00 in the UK. For fans in both American and British markets, the key TV detail is straightforward: this is an ABC national broadcast, so it will also be available via ESPN Unlimited for streaming subscribers.
The presence of Tom Hart gives the game a familiar college-football voice. Hart has become one of ESPN’s most recognisable play-by-play announcers, regularly calling major college football games and bringing a polished, energetic style that suits national windows. Alongside him, Jesse Palmer continues his long-running role as an analyst after a career that has spanned the NFL, Canadian football and television, making him one of the sport’s more visible studio and broadcast personalities.
Kris Budden adds further experience on the sideline. Budden is well known across ESPN’s college sports coverage and has built a strong reputation as a reporter on football and basketball broadcasts, offering quick updates, injury news and coach reactions during live games. That combination of Hart, Palmer and Budden gives ABC a seasoned trio for one of the weekend’s more eye-catching non-conference fixtures.
On radio, Mike Couzens handles play-by-play for ESPN Radio, with former offensive lineman Max Starks providing analysis. Couzens is a veteran of ESPN’s college football and basketball coverage, while Starks has become a trusted voice in football broadcasting after his NFL playing career. Mike Peasley joins the team as reporter, rounding out the radio presentation for listeners following the game away from the television screen.
For Texas A&M, the national exposure reflects the significance of a home game at one of college football’s most imposing venues. For Arizona State, it is a chance to make a statement on the road against a high-profile opponent in a broadcast slot that will attract attention in both the US and the UK. More information on the competition can be found through the NCAA.
With ABC, ESPN Unlimited and ESPN Radio all carrying the game, viewers and listeners have several ways to follow the action as Arizona State and Texas A&M meet under the national spotlight at Kyle Field.
