There’s a new twist as the MHSAA Football Playoffs – powered by the Michigan Army National Guard – begin their seventh season on FOX Sports Detroit’s PrepZone. One of the four games each week also will be streamed on Facebook Live.

Each Monday for the first four weeks of the Playoffs, a FOX Sports Detroit Twitter poll will be conducted for 24 hours to select one game to be available on Facebook. This week’s poll was won by Livonia Franklin at Walled Lake Western, which garnered more than 50 percent of the vote.

The four live games each week will be free on the FOX Sports Detroit Website and will also be available to mobile users of FOX Sports GO!  Authentication may be required to watch on FS GO!

Here’s this week’s PrepZone schedule. All games kick off Friday (Oct. 27) at 7 p.m.:

  • Lowell at Flushing

In its ninth 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 is used by schools wishing to stream games but which lack the ability to staff the events. The SBP program also gives schools the opportunity to raise money through advertising and viewing subscriptions.

Here’s this week’s MHSAA.tv schedule of video streams being produced by SBP members: 

Tuesday, October 24

Wednesday, October 25

Thursday, October 26

Friday, October 27

All content becomes available for free, on-demand viewing 72 hours after being shown live. School Broadcast Program participants will also be selling Season and Annual Passes at a discounted rate. A portion of every subscription sold by a school goes to benefit its program.

A Month Pass purchased this week would enable a viewer to access all of the live MHSAA Tournament action this fall.  That schedule includes:
