The Fighting Sioux Sports Network airs live telecasts of North Dakota Fighting Sioux athletics. The channel carries all home men's hockey games, several away hockey games, and several football and basketball games throughout the season. When not airing games, the station shows a loop of silent commercials for upcoming events at Ralph Engelstad Arena.

During the college hockey season, select games carried by FSSN are broadcast nation-wide by ESPNU and others are broadcast on WDAZ-TV.

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