A high percentage of this week’s Michigan High School Athletic Association playoff games for football and boys soccer will be broadcast on MHSAA.tv and the NFHS Network, followed by a significant number of opening volleyball tournament matches next week.

Three rounds remain in the MHSAA Boys Soccer Tournament, and MHSAA.tv will broadcast 10 Regional Finals (of 16 to be played), including seven on Thursday (Oct. 28). The 11- and 8-Player Football Playoffs kick off Friday and Saturday, and MHSAA.tv will broadcast more than 100 (of 144 total) football games as well.

The MHSAA Volleyball Tournament begins Monday with District play, and more than 50 matches are currently part of the MHSAA.tv broadcast schedule. The regular-season schedule finishes up this weekend with nearly 70 matches to be broadcast Oct. 28-30.

Additionally, MHSAA media partner Bally Sports Detroit will continue its weekly live cable TV broadcasts with Friday’s Division 1 District Semifinal of Clinton Township Chippewa Valley (6-3) traveling to Troy (8-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on BSD’s primary channel. The game also may be watched on the BSD website and app.

Now in its 13th year, the School Broadcast Program gives members an opportunity to showcase excellence in their schools by creating video programming of athletic and non-athletic events with students gaining skills in announcing, camera operation, directing/producing and graphics. Pixellot – the NFHS Network’s automated streaming solution – is used by schools wishing to live stream games but lacking the ability to staff the events. The program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.

NFHS Network subscriptions begin at $10.99 per month. Subscribers will have access to all live video and on-demand video from across the country. School Broadcast Program participants benefit as a portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program. (Subscriptions must be cancelled before the 30-day period is over to avoid recurring charges.)

A complete list of participating schools can be found on the School Broadcast Program page of the MHSAA Website.
