The University Interscholastic League is allowing high schools to broadcast Friday night football games for the 2020 season.
The decision was announced during the league’s legislative council meeting on Wednesday with the expectation the coronavirus will impact attendance for games this season. The UIL is only allowing it for this year.
Traditionally, high school football games can be broadcasted live on Thursdays and Saturday but on Fridays, games can only be shown on a delay of at least one hour after the game’s end. The Friday night ban is built around the UIL’s desire to protect attendance on the sport’s most sacred night.
Dubbed Texas Football Days, the UIL already relaxed its ban for Week 1 by allowing Fox Sports Southwest to air multiple games from across the state to open the season. Lifting the ban for the entire 2020 season allows schools districts to sell broadcasting rights or makes way for student-run broadcasts. Both schools involved in a game must agree to the broadcast.
