Tickets to any of the Montana State University football home games absolutely flew off the shelves. There weren't that many available to begin with when they went on sale to the general public. So, where are the best places to watch the games on TV if you didn't score tickets?

Have no fear, as there is no shortage of places to catch Montana State football games on TV in the Bozeman area. NOTE: Every bar and restaurant listed below was contacted directly and asked if they would be airing both home and away MSU football games, and it was verbally confirmed that they would be. (So if you show up somewhere and they don't have it, be mad at them, not us.)

As  we get further confirmation of more locations that will be airing the game on their TVs, we'll add them to the list. So here are the details about the 2024 Cat/Griz Brawl of the Wild:

  • 123rd BRAWL OF THE WILD: Saturday Nov. 23rd - Montana at Bobcat Stadium, Bozeman, MT 2:00pm ET (12pm Local Mountain Time) ESPN+/Scripps/MTN TV

SIDEWINDERS AMERICAN GRILL: (780 Boardwalk Ave, Bozeman) Sidewinders is an excellent choice for those who require someplace family friendly - it's how they bill themselves. The Bozeman location is nicely laid out with a distinct sit-down restaurant area, a large bar area, and a fantastic outside deck (weather permitting). With TVs throughout, they're a solid pick.

ROCKING R BAR: (211 E Main Street, Bozeman) No list of this kind would be complete without the R Bar. As one of the biggest Bobcat supporters in the area, the downtown Bozeman institution is ground zero if you can't be at the game itself. With a SOLID food menu from Hail Mary's, which is located inside the R Bar, there's no fear of going hungry. Rocking R Bar on Facebook.

THE CLUB TAVERN & GRILL: (1325 N 7th Avenue, Bozeman - inside the Best Western Plus) Since it's technically a hotel restaurant/bar, it opens early all the time (6am) and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But no matter, it's also a locals favorite to hang out and catch a game since just about every table and bar seat has a good view of a TV, and easy parking. The Club Tavern & Grill on Facebook.

SPECTATORS BAR & GRILL: (19 Tai Lane, Bozeman) If you can't get into the actual stadium, this place is about as physically close as you can get. (You're literally a block from the gate.) They've got a full menu and are open every day, with burgers, sandwiches, and pizzas. "With 20 TVs and a wide selection of TV packages, it’s hard to find a game or sporting event you can’t catch."

THE CANNERY: (43 W Main Street, Bozeman) Another downtown Bozeman institution, with a great burger joint attached (Burger Bob's). 40 years of supporting the Bobcats and serving the community tasty beverages. "The Cannery was established in December 1982 by Bob Fletcher who, together with his family, has owned and operated the establishment since." You'll find The Cannery on the northeast corner of Willson and Main in downtown.
