**Jay Colley** and **Shawn Knight** on **Fordham at William & Mary**: where to watch the NCAA FCS clash
Match date:
Fordham’s trip to William & Mary in NCAA Division I FCS action will be shown on ESPN Unlimited / ESPN+ in the United States, with Jay Colley on play-by-play and Shawn Knight providing co-commentary. The game is scheduled for Saturday, 19 September 2026, at Walter J. Zable Stadium at Cary Field in Williamsburg, Virginia, with ESPN listing kick-off at 6:00 p.m. local time and 10:00 p.m. UTC.
For viewers in the UK, the key point is that this is a streaming-only college football broadcast rather than a linear TV fixture, so access will depend on ESPN’s digital platforms and any applicable geo-restrictions. ESPN’s event listing and game preview both identify the matchup as Fordham vs. William & Mary, and Fordham’s own preview confirms the game will be carried live on ESPN+.
Jay Colley is the main voice for the stream, handling play-by-play duties, while Shawn Knight joins him in the analyst role. Fordham’s official release, however, names a different ESPN+ pairing of Colley with Gareth Hissong, which suggests there may be a late broadcast assignment change or a discrepancy between listings. Because the team release is the more specific source for the university’s own broadcast plans, it is the most authoritative reference for the production details currently available.
The matchup itself brings together two sides familiar to FCS followers. ESPN’s game page shows William & Mary entering at 2-1 overall and 1-1 in Patriot League play, while Fordham’s programme notes that the Rams are continuing their 2026 season and returning to Patriot League action on the road. The contest is being staged at Walter J. Zable Stadium at Cary Field, one of the best-known venues in the William & Mary programme.
Fordham’s release also adds useful context for listeners who prefer radio-style coverage. The Rams say the game will be available on WFUV 90.7 FM and the WFUV YouTube channel, with Tucker Austin on play-by-play and Max Langer as analyst. That gives supporters in New York a second viewing option beyond the ESPN stream.
Jay Colley and Shawn Knight are therefore the names to remember for the ESPN stream, although Fordham’s in-house announcement points to a different ESPN+ analyst pairing. In practical terms, fans searching for the broadcast should use the ESPN watch listing for the live stream and check the college football game page for the latest on presentation details.
