Victory+ has committed to exclusively broadcasting all 12 of the University Interscholastic League's state championship football games, a move that began in June and is offered completely free of charge. This initiative aims to redefine the broadcast model for high school sports, prioritizing accessibility and community engagement.

Beyond live game coverage, Victory+ is fostering a sense of competition and reward among schools.
