The top-ranked Saint Francis (Ind.) Cougars will take on the Reinhardt Eagles in the NAIA football championship on Saturday. The game is set for 6 p.m. ET, livestreaming online at ESPN3 via web browsers or via the ESPN App on various devices.

With a playoff bracket that started in November, both St. Francis and Reinhardt made it through unscathed. For the Cougars, the path included a 26-21 victory over Benedictine in the first round, a 30-3 victory over Northwestern (IA) in the quarterfinals and, finally, a 43-36 victory over Morningside in the semifinals.

On the other side, Reinhardt played some close games but also made it through without too much issue.

They bested Concordia in the first round, 39-10, but managed to beat Georgetown by only a touchdown, 17-10. Reinhardt then went on to play Southern Oregon in the semifinals, who they beat, 37-34. Southern Oregon was 12-0 going into that matchup, while Morningside was 13-0 when the Cougars took them on.

It’s been a long road for both teams. They aren’t always in the spotlight, but they play some exciting football, and if you want to watch the action, ESPN3 will be streaming the game. Below is all you need to know to watch, stream the game and more.
