Starting with this year's fall sports, Michigan residents will be able to watch all high school post-season tournaments live online on the NFHS Network, a new all-digital network devoted to coverage of high school sports and performing arts.

The Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) has become one of 32 states to partner with the network.

Postseason games in all sports sponsored by the MHSAA will be available online on NFHS, except for select championship events, such as football and basketball, which are aired on Fox Sports Detroit.

In addition to post-season games, the network will show regular season games for about 20 Michigan schools, none of which are in southeast Michigan.

“For more than a century, school sports has had the highest profile of all youth sports,” said Jack Roberts, MHSAA executive director.  “Done right, this network will solidify interscholastic athletics as the most popular and principled youth sports experience for many more generations.”

If schools are interesting in joining the NFHS Network and having regular season games live-streamed online, they can contact MHSAA Communications Director John Johnson at john@mhsaa.com.
