The 2026 Michigan high school football playoffs start today Friday, Oct. 30, with a 128-game schedule in the first round, which is also the district semifinals.

But you don't have to attend in-person to catch the games.

A subscription to the NFHS Network gives you access to livestream all 2026 MHSAA football playoff games, and each is also available on demand to catch if you missed it, or want to go back for a rewatch.

The site also streams other sports each school year, including boys and girls basketball.

If you want the answers to the test, our prep expert Jared Ramsey predicted the score for every 2026 first-round game, and broke down all eight divisions, predicting final fours and state champs.

How to subscribe to NFHS Network for MHSAA games

You can sign up for a subscription to the NFHS Network. The cost for an annual subscription is $99.99, which includes live games for all sports for all schools. That comes down to 8.33 per month. A subscription to the NFHS Network gives viewers full access to all regular-season and postseason games livestreamed on the network across the country, not just in Michigan. You can also subscribe to watch just one school for $79.99 (three sports, one viewer) or $89.99 (all sports, family plan up to six devices).

How to watch MHSAA games on TV with NFHS subscription

All available games can be livestreamed or watched on demand online at www.nfhsnetwork.com, or through the NFHS Network App. The app is available on Smart TVs such as ROKU, Amazon Fire, Apple TV and Google TV.

Viewers will have to use their NFHS login and password to use the app on TV.

What is the NFHS Network?

The NFHS is a livestreaming service allowing high school fans to watch games live or on-demand from anywhere on the go or at home. High schools use it primarily to livestream sporting events, but also use it to air events such as graduation or school plays, etc. The Network is subscription-based, offering both annual and monthly packages. Just click "subscribe" in the top right corner on the website.

Are all MHSAA football games on NFHS Network?

Not during the regular season. Some schools livestream games themselves and opt not to use the network. A weekly schedule of live events can be found on the NFHS website and it includes both varsity and junior varsity games from different sports.

However, all football playoff games can be found on the network, a major benefit for fans to follow from home as teams travel across the state in the playoffs.
