A pair of six-man contests will launch live game coverage on Wednesday, Dec. 20, and be available to stream on FOX Sports GO only. All remaining games will be televised on either FOX Sports Southwest or FOX Sports Southwest Plus.
In some markets, the Class 2A Division I game on Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. and 5A Division I game on Dec. 22 at 7 p.m. will be carried on FOX Sports Southwest Plus due to overlap with NBA broadcasts on FOX Sports Southwest.
Additionally, the 3A Division II tilt on Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. will be televised across all markets on FOX Sports Southwest Plus.
Reigning Texas Sportscaster of the Year Craig Way, along with Ted Emrich and Ron Thulin will split playby-play duties for the game broadcasts.
