A Smarter Way to Cover Every Game

More coverage. No extra staff.

The next generation of high school sports coverage is here. With NFHS Network’s automated production capabilities, schools can expand coverage without expanding staff. AI-powered cameras and streaming technology make it easier than ever to ensure that:

  • More games are streamed
  • More athletes are seen
  • More fans can tune in

From freshman to varsity, your entire program gains visibility without creating additional burden.

Coaching Tools: MaxPreps Advantage

Better film. Better insights. Better preparation.

Schools streaming on the NFHS Network unlock access to MaxPreps Advantage at no extra cost. With MaxPreps Advantage, your coaching staff gets:

  • Automated film uploads with unlimited storage
  • Free access to game film, analytics and automated highlights
  • Self-editing and highlight tools
  • Seamless integration into existing workflows

Here's what that looks like in practice: a coach finishes Friday's game, and by Saturday morning, automated stat breakdowns and highlight clips are already waiting in their dashboard — no manual upload, no editing required. Advanced Breakdowns go even further, generating detailed analytics and delivering them within 8-12 hours of the final whistle. Those highlights are also shared to MaxPreps, putting your athletes in front of college recruiters without anyone on your staff lifting a finger.

For schools already streaming on the NFHS Network, MaxPreps Advantage is included at no additional cost. That's a tool your coaching staff would otherwise pay for separately — now bundled into the platform you're already using.

Build the Next Generation of Leaders Through Student Broadcasting

Real-world experience for future leaders.

Beyond automation, the NFHS Network helps bring your school’s story to life through student involvement. With Student Broadcast Programs, schools can:

  • Give students hands-on experience in media and production
  • Teach broadcasting, announcing, and content creation
  • Build career pathways in sports media
  • Strengthen school pride and engagement

Beyond the broadcast itself, students gain documented, real-world experience they can take to college applications and career conversations. Schools can also work with local broadcast professionals to develop customized productions that reflect their unique culture and community spirit.

 

Earn Sponsorship Revenue Through Your Live Streams

Turn broadcast growth into program support.

As your broadcasts grow, so do your revenue opportunities. The NFHS Network makes it easy to:

  • Add local sponsor logos to your streams
  • Display sponsor messaging during games
  • Create new digital inventory for community partners

These sponsorship opportunities help drive sustainable revenue to support your athletic programs long-term.

 

Support You Can Rely On

No stress. No extra workload. Just results.

Behind every broadcast is a dedicated support team. The NFHS Network provides:

  • Professional installation
  • System monitoring
  • Ongoing maintenance
  • On-site field support when needed

The NFHS Network: Reimagined for What Comes Next

Fan Zone and sponsorship tools mean new revenue and engagement that didn't exist before. And student broadcasting means your program is building the next generation of leaders while it grows.

The question isn't whether your program could benefit — it's how quickly you want to get started.
