MHSAA.tv on NFHS Network Surpasses Decade of Providing Fans Another Way to Watch

By Jon Ross
MHSAA Director of Broadcast Properties

August 30, 2024

The way high school sports fans in Michigan follow their favorite teams changed forever 11 years ago.

MHSAA Championships began airing on the NFHS Network in 2013, and one of the oldest games archived was the season-opening varsity football game between Adrian and Carleton Airport on Aug. 30, 2013. Adrian would go on to win that game 26-7. John Koehn of WLEN in Adrian provided the play-by-play. (Watch the entire game here.)

The second, third, and fourth oldest archived streams were also Adrian football games. The first MHSAA basketball game to air was Cheboygan vs. Newberry on Dec. 10, 2013.

Since that start, more than 172,000 events in Michigan have been broadcast on the NFHS Network. Last school year alone, more than 50,000 events aired. This includes games from all levels – freshman, JV, and varsity. It includes regular-season matchups, all the way through MHSAA Finals. Most games are produced with automated cameras installed in gyms and stadiums. Schools also use student crews to produce broadcasts – providing hands-on learning opportunities for future broadcasters.

More than 600 of the MHSAA’s 752 member schools are partners of the NFHS Network. A monthly subscription to watch is $11.99 – and a portion of that goes back to schools in Michigan. To date, the NFHS Network has shared nearly $1.5 million with partner schools.

If you can’t attend a game in person, watching on the NFHS Network is a great way to support your favorite school.
