How to watch and stream The Opening 2017’s 7-on-7 championship game
After years on ESPN, the event’s moving to NFL Network.
The 2017 iteration of the nation’s premier college football recruiting event, The Opening, is coming to an end with the 7-on-7 tournament finals. As opposed to previous years, the competition hasn’t been televised at all so far, but that’ll change at the end.
What channel and time for The Opening’s 7-on-7 finals?
Monday night’s finale will be on the NFL Network. As of right now, we don’t have an exact time for the championship game, but it should be between 6 and 8 p.m. ET, given what Nike’s told SB Nation’s national recruiting analyst Bud Elliott about Monday’s schedule.
What about streaming?
The NFL Network’s streaming info is here.

While the 7-on-7 games are going on, linemen will be working in a skills competition of their own, but at this point that won’t be televised.
