Nexstar Media Group and Mission Broadcasting will provide free live coverage of all 12 University Interscholastic League (UIL) state high school football championship games across their Texas television stations and streaming platforms in December.
The four-day tournament will take place December 16 through December 19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, with teams competing for Division I and Division II championships across six classifications.
The companies said participating stations in 13 Texas television markets will offer the games through local broadcast channels, streaming services or both. For the first time, the games will also be accessible to viewers outside Texas through the participating stations’ digital streaming platforms.
“High school football is part of the fabric of Texas, and few events bring communities together like the UIL State Football Championships,” Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said in a statement.
