The UND Sports Network aired live telecasts of North Dakota Fighting Sioux athletics. The channel carried all home men's hockey games, several away hockey games, and several football, women's hockey games, volleyball and basketball games throughout the season.

Some of FSSN's programming was picked up by ESPNU, while Fox College Sports aired live games or replays of FSSN events. Some games were broadcasted on WDAZ-TV along with sister stations WDAY-TV in Fargo, KBMY in Bismarck and KMCY in Minot.

WDAZ's sports director, Pat Sweeney, was the television voice of Fighting Sioux athletics on FSSN.
