About

The Sideline Report

Features
Read full description

While high school football is our primary focus, The Sideline Report is built to grow. Participating schools may also bring fans coverage of basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, and other high school sports, along with highlights, interviews, coaches' shows, player features, and other original sports programming. The Sideline Report also takes viewers beyond the high school sidelines with our College Game Day Experience. Travel with us to college football destinations across Texas and around the country as we experience everything surrounding game day—the college towns, restaurants and bars, fans, rivalries, traditions, tailgates, campuses, stadiums, and the atmosphere that makes college football special. The Sideline Report is more than a place to watch a game. Our goal is to build a sports community that connects schools, athletes, fans, families, and communities through the games and traditions they love. One platform. Your school. Your team. Your game.
