How to Watch the Texas High‑School Volleyball Finals: A Complete Guide

The Texas High‑School Volleyball Championship is one of the most‑anticipated events on the state’s sports calendar. After months of hard‑fought matches and nail‑biting sets, the final eight teams are set to face off for the ultimate bragging rights. If you’re a fan, a parent, or a former player, you won’t want to miss the action. Below is a concise, no‑fuss guide to the schedule, where you can stream the games, and the key match‑ups that have everyone talking.

1. Final‑Round Schedule

The Texas State Fairgrounds will host the entire championship weekend, offering a neutral field for the top teams from every UIL classification (1A‑6A). The schedule follows a single‑elimination format; once a team drops out, it is out of the running. The championship match will determine the next Texas High‑School Volleyball champion.

2. Broadcast Channel

The official broadcast of the finals will be on CBS Sports Network (CSN), the same channel that carried the 2023 championships. Fans can tune in on any local cable box that includes CSN, or through a direct cable subscription. For those in rural areas without cable, the local affiliate KTXA 39 will also carry the games on a delay (typically a 30‑minute buffer). In the event of a national broadcast or any major network partnership, the news outlet will update the schedule.

3. Live Streaming

For the growing segment of viewers who prefer digital streaming, the UIL’s official “UIL TV” platform offers a fully live stream of all championship matches. The stream can be accessed via the UIL’s website, but you’ll need a valid login associated with a UIL‑affiliated high school. Once logged in, navigate to the “Sports” section and select “Volleyball” – you’ll see the live stream for each match. The platform supports both standard and high‑definition (HD) quality, with captions and play‑by‑play commentary.

If you’re a fan who does not have a UIL login, you can still stream the finals via the ESPN3 app on iOS, Android, or Roku. ESPN3 partners with the UIL to provide a free, ad‑supported stream of the championship weekend. You will need to sign in with an email address, but no subscription fee is required.

4. Highlight Match‑Ups

The quarter‑final bracket is shaping up to be a thriller. The top‑seeded team from 6A – Auburn High – will face the second‑seeded 5A squad, Dallas‑North. Meanwhile, the 1A powerhouses Lubbock‑East and Amarillo‑West will clash, potentially marking the first 1A‑1A matchup in the championship’s history. A surprising underdog, Laredo‑Central (a 4A team) has advanced all the way to the semi‑finals, putting their coach and star setter on the state’s radar.

5. How to Get the Scores and Highlights

After each game, the UIL releases a live scoreboard on their website. For a deeper dive, the “Texas High‑School Sports” app (available on iOS and Android) offers instant stats, player profiles, and post‑game analyses. The app also hosts highlight reels, which are posted within 30 minutes of each match’s conclusion.

6. Why It Matters

High‑school volleyball in Texas has seen explosive growth over the past decade. More than 3,000 girls from 800 schools participate annually, and the championship weekend has become a showcase for future college prospects. The finals attract scouts, alumni, and local media, turning the event into a community celebration. Even for those who never hit the court, the energy, teamwork, and sheer athleticism displayed during the finals are a testament to the sport’s rising prominence in Texas.

7. Final Tips for Viewers

1. Check the Time Zone: All times listed are Central Time. If you live in a different zone, adjust accordingly.
2. Test Your Connection: Streaming can be bandwidth‑heavy. If you’re using ESPN3, a stable Wi‑Fi connection or a wired Ethernet cable will prevent buffering.
3. Support Your Team: Whether it’s a “Go, Go, Go” banner at home or cheering from the couch, your enthusiasm fuels the athletes.
4. Follow the Official Hashtag: #TALV2025 on Twitter and Instagram to stay connected with real‑time updates.

In Closing

The Texas High‑School Volleyball Finals promise to be an unforgettable weekend of athletic excellence and state pride. With a clear schedule, accessible broadcasts, and a wealth of online resources, every fan can catch the action live. Mark your calendars, grab a popcorn, and get ready to celebrate the champions of Texas volleyball.
