FLORENCE, Ala. (November 13, 2025) – The University of North Alabama Department of Athletics and WAFF 48 in Huntsville reached an agreement to air UNA's final football game at historic Braly Stadium on local television.
 
The Lions will host Southern Utah for the last dance at Braly Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
 
As usual, the game will also be available on ESPN+.
 
To commemorate the final game at Braly Stadium, WAFF will produce a one-hour pregame show called "A Farewell to Braly" with an inside look at the history of Braly and a sneak-peak inside Bobby Wallace Field at Bank Independent Stadium. Longtime Sports Director Carl Prather will host the pregame show.
 
WAFF will also broadcast the game on Tennessee Valley Sports Entertainment Network, which can be found over the air on 48.3 or by checking with your cable provider. "Voice of the Lions" Benjamin Ray, Bryan Neece and Arielle Schaffer will be on the call of the game. 
 
"We are excited to partner with WAFF 48 to bring the final game at Braly Stadium to fans across the Tennessee Valley," said Dr. Josh Looney, UNA Director of Athletics. "This broadcast allows our community to share in a truly historic moment as we celebrate decades of memories at Braly and look ahead to a new and exciting era at Bank Independent Stadium. WAFF 48 is a tremendous media partner in our region, and we look forward to more UNA broadcasts on WAFF in the future."
 
Braly Stadium has been home to the UNA football team since the full restart of the program in 1949. The venue was previously known as Coffee Stadium, adjacent to the former Coffee High School. It was renamed in 1964 in honor of Tom Braly, Jr. who coached in the 1940s and 1950s.
 
With a major renovation to the facility in 1980, the stadium was renamed Braly Municipal Stadium, signifying the partnership between the University of North Alabama, the Florence School Board and the Florence Parks and Recreation Department.
 
Renovated again in 1998, the stadium now seats 14,215 and has an artificial ProGrass playing surface.
 
From 1986-2013, Braly Stadium hosted the NCAA Division II Football National Championship Game. Since the Division II title game was created in 1972, no city had served as the host for more than five years until the Shoals area and Braly Stadium did it for 28 straight years. It is the second longest continuous period that any site had hosted any NCAA championship in any sport on any level.
 
The Lions have an all-time record of 281-134-8 in the stadium for a 68.7 win percentage. In playoff games at Braly Stadium, the Lions were tough to beat with a 26-8 record. UNA also has a 41-25 record against ranked opponents inside Braly.
 
"It's an honor to help commemorate UNA's final home game at Braly Stadium," said WAFF General Manager Jama Killingsworth. "This collaboration reflects WAFF's commitment to telling the stories that matter most to our viewers. Our station has always believed in serving our local communities, and highlighting this historic moment is an example of that mission in action as we celebrate the past and look ahead to the next chapter in UNA's legacy."
