Review
The NFHS Network app includes some useful features that will help you navigate and watch the teams you are most interested in and is available on all popular devices. Here are some useful tips while browsing and viewing:
How To Follow Your Team(s):
NFHS Network offers some great ways to always follow the school and save upcoming broadcasts. These features include a watch list, a save button to watch later, and even downloading a digital copy. The interface is pretty intuitive, but we’ve found that searching is the best way to find the school which can then be saved to your profile.
Which Games are Broadcast on The NFHS Network?
Only schools part of the NFHS Network are available to watch and most regular season games are produced by one of the competing schools. In other words, it is ultimately up to the schools to schedule and produce the games. An extensive list of which schools are part of the Network can be located by filtering by state on the NFHS Network School Finder page.
Are All Games Available for On-demand Viewing?
You’ll find that on-demand is only available with an active subscription. Certain games or events may be unavailable for on-demand viewing at the discretion of the school, state association, or publisher. And since the broadcasts are produced by the schools themselves, audio may be spotty (partially or entirely muted) or have audio-overly in place of the original audio.
Can I Stream The High School Game on Multiple Devices?

You may have to sign out then sign back into your account to regain access if you have exceeded maximum number of connections. If you wish to watch content simultaneously on multiple devices, you will need to create another account.
Does NFHS Network Have Blackout Games or Periods?
If a school is broadcasting their own game, they reserve the right to blackout the on demand replay for a period of time of their choosing. The most common reason for a school blacking out their own game is so that other schools cannot study their formations and plays to gain a competitive advantage.
A game can also be blacked out due to conflicting television and media contracts. There are also numerous local and regional ordinances on the books concerning high school athletics that must be adhered to. It’s best to check with your school if you have questions about its availability.
