Okay, so, I wanted to watch some high school football, right? But I had no clue where to even start looking. I mean, it’s not like they show these games on the main channels all the time. So, I rolled up my sleeves and started digging.
First, I tried to figure out which networks even show high school games. Turns out, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. I found out that sometimes, local channels might have the games, especially if it’s a big rivalry or a championship match. So, I checked the listings for the local channels in my area.

No luck there, unfortunately.
Then, I remembered there are a bunch of sports networks out there. I thought, maybe one of them would have some high school action. I scanned through the guides for channels like ESPN, you know, the big names in sports broadcasting. And guess what? I saw that ESPN does show some high school games, but it’s not like they have them on every day.
I did find a few nationally televised games. For example, I saw that Buford vs. Mill Creek game was on ESPN2. But these were special cases, like super hyped-up matches. Not just any regular game, you know?
Next, I went down the streaming rabbit hole. I’ve got all these streaming apps on my TV, so I started poking around there. I learned about the NFHS Network. Apparently, they’re the go-to place for streaming high school sports. They have a website, and you can even watch on your phone or tablet.
I signed up for a trial on the NFHS Network. It was pretty cool, they had a bunch of games, but mostly on-demand, not live. It was neat to watch some of the past games, but I really wanted to catch something live.
- Checked local channels.
- Looked at big sports networks like ESPN.
- Signed up for a trial on the NFHS Network.
- Found some nationally televised games on ESPN, but they were rare.
I also checked out DIRECTV because I heard they have a lot of sports content. It turned out they do have high school football, but you need a specific package, which I didn’t have.

I felt a bit stuck. I was hoping there would be more options, especially for live games.
I asked a few friends who are also into high school sports. A couple of them mentioned that the best way to watch is still the old-fashioned way – go to the stadium! I guess that makes sense. You get the whole atmosphere, the crowd, the band, all that good stuff. But I don’t know if I’m ready to do that just yet. I prefer to watch it on the couch in my living room.
My Conclusion
So, after all that searching, I realized that watching high school football isn’t as easy as just flipping through channels. You have to look for specific games on specific networks, or maybe try streaming services like the NFHS Network. And if all else fails, there’s always the local stadium. I guess I’ll try different things and see what works for me.
It’s a bit of a hassle, but hey, where there is a will, there is a way. I am determined to watch live high school football this season!
