WACO, Texas (KWTX) - Tuesday the UIL Legislative Council voted to allow Texas high school football games to be streamed online.
This following a season where the UIL allowed high school football games to be broadcast on live television and online due to the Covid-19 pandemic and limited capacity in stadiums around the state.
According to Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, the measure, which was voted out of the policy committee, passed the final legislative council by a clear majority — but not unanimous — vote.
The changes approved Tuesday “would allow for UIL member schools to permit the live webcast of a regular season football game on a Friday night.”
The UIL said a recent survey of UIL member schools “showed an overwhelming majority in favor of allowing the live broadcast of Friday night football games on the internet.”
It said approval of the amendment “will allow for greater public accessibility to these games, particularly for individuals who could not otherwise attend the event in person.”
This lifted restriction will apply only to webcasts streamed over the internet and in accordance with UIL broadcast guidelines.
“Other live telecasts including over-the-air television broadcasts will still be prohibited under this rule,” the UIL said.
