What is the NFHS Network?
The NFHS is a livestreaming service allowing high school fans to watch games live or on-demand from the comfort of their own home. High schools use it primarily to livestream sporting events, but also use it to air events like graduation or school plays, etc. The Network is subscription-based, offering both annual and monthly packages.
Are all MHSAA football games on NFHS Network?
No. Some schools livestream games themselves and opt not to use the network. A weekly schedule of live events can be found on the NFHS website and it includes both varsity and junior varsity games from different sports.
However, most football playoff games can be found on the network, a major benefit for fans to follow from home as teams travel across the state in the playoffs.
