IHSAA Champions Network Unveils Live Schedule, Replays for Postseason Broadcasts

The IHSAA Champions Network, presented by Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, maintained a live Schedule & Replays page listing live streams, upcoming broadcast windows and archived replays for sectional and postseason coverage. The page served as the central listing for postseason broadcasts across volleyball, football, wrestling, girls basketball, boys basketball and baseball.

IHSAA State Finals telecasts and live streams in volleyball, football, wrestling, girls basketball, boys basketball and baseball air on Bally Sports Indiana, a regional sports television network. The IHSAA-Bally Sports Indiana partnership began in 2013-14, and when state championship telecasts overlap with Indiana Pacers games the IHSAA championship will air on Bally Sports Indiana Extra, the network’s alternate channel. Bally Sports Indiana is widely available on cable, satellite and streaming providers throughout the region, and the IHSAA advises fans to check provider listings for channel numbers.

The source material includes a partial provider/channel listing as published: Bally Sports Indiana Channel [...] Tel. Co. 653 650 Spectrum – Indianapolis 1411 Not available Spectrum Evansville 505 or 929 2, 12.1 or 505 Spectrum Terre Haute 36 Not available TDS 1600 Not available Tri-County/SDS 16 or 77 Not available WOW – Evansville 828 103. Those entries mirror the channel roster provided for the region and underscore the patchwork of carriage across Indianapolis, Evansville and Terre Haute markets.

Fans can stream State Finals on the Bally Sports app and BallySports.com if they receive Bally Sports Indiana through their TV subscription; to stream, users must sign in to the app with their pay-TV provider user ID and password. Bally Sports+ is a separate streaming option that launched in September 2022 and offers month-to-month or annual subscriptions for fans who do not access Bally Sports Indiana through a pay-TV package. For technical support with the Bally Sports app, users are instructed to submit a request with Bally Sports support, per the network guidance.

In addition to Bally Sports distribution, the IHSAA Champions Network combines more than 80 terrestrial radio stations with its online platform to extend coverage beyond television, describing itself as featuring 80+ terrestrial radio stations and IHSAAtv content to blanket the state, the Midwest and the world with high school sports coverage. IHSAA material also notes that IHSAA State Finals stream via pay-per-view on the IHSAAtv platform, with telecasts produced by the IHSAA Champions Network.

Taken together, the broadcast architecture gives Hoosier fans multiple viewing options for postseason play: regional television on Bally Sports Indiana (or Bally Sports Indiana Extra for Pacers conflicts), authenticated streaming via the Bally Sports app, subscription access through Bally Sports+, pay-per-view streams on IHSAAtv, and a terrestrial radio network exceeding 80 stations. Those paths collectively cover state final events and provide archived replays on the Schedule & Replays page for fans tracking sectional and postseason action.
