Texas high school football fans have been asking for years. Now they finally got their answer.
Beginning in the 2025 season, all 12 UIL football state championship games and up to 20 playoff matchups will stream live and free on Victory Plus. The deal is a game-changer and brings long-overdue accessibility to the biggest moments in Texas high school football.
The five-year agreement between UIL and Victory Plus was brokered by Dave Campbell’s Texas Sports and prioritizes free access and widespread availability. Fans will be able to watch games on mobile devices, tablets, smart TVs, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV, making it easier than ever to follow their favorite teams across the state.
Fans Have Wanted This for Years
For decades, Texas football championships were hard to access. Many games were behind cable bundles or costly streaming platforms. That left fans in small towns, former players, and families scrambling just to watch their hometown team in a playoff game.
With this new move, that frustration is over. Victory Plus will allow viewers across Texas and beyond to watch the championship games without paying a fee. For many, this shift represents more than just convenience. It brings the game back to the people who built the tradition.
A New Era for Statewide Coverage
Victory Plus has experience with regional sports broadcasts, already showcasing games for teams such as the Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars. The company will now bring that same quality to UIL football, offering fans a more consistent and high-quality viewing experience.
This will be the first time that every UIL football state championship will be available to stream free of charge, without requiring cable access. The platform’s goal is to make each game accessible and enjoyable to watch, and that includes families, alumni, students, and scouts.
What to Expect in 2025
Starting with the 2025 football season, fans can watch all UIL state title games and up to twenty handpicked playoff games each year on Victory Plus. Games will be available on Android, iOS, Roku, and Fire TV, with more details coming closer to kickoff.
This change opens the door to more exposure, deeper connection, and greater excitement. Coaches and student athletes will have a broader platform to showcase their teams, and supporters will finally be able to follow the journey all the way to Arlington.
A Win for the Fans
This is a major win for Texas football communities. The fans who fill the stands on Friday nights can now follow their teams deeper into the season without worrying about how to watch. UIL and Victory Plus are delivering a solution that many people have wanted for years.
