Local sports broadcast series kicks off on September 4, showcasing student athletes, rivalries, and communities from 11 South Louisiana parishes.

Gonzales, La.REV Fiber is bringing back its Game of the Week high school football coverage for a 21st season, delivering 32 matchups across 11 South Louisiana parishes. Beginning September 4, the schedule features local rivalries, homecoming games, regional matchups, and playoff action.

Game of the Week has grown from a local television broadcast focused on Ascension Parish football into a multi-platform production reaching viewers throughout REV’s growing service area. This series shows not only the competition on the field, but also the traditions that make Friday night football such a meaningful part of the high school experience.

“For more than 20 years, Game of the Week has been a way for REV to celebrate schools and student-athletes that make South Louisiana special, ” said Josh Descant, CEO of REV. “As REV’s footprint continues to grow, we are excited to bring this tradition to even more communities and give families another way to experience high school football together.”

Returning for a second year is REV Fiber’s Game of the Week Expanded with coverage of an additional 10 games. Produced in partnership with Varsity Sports Now (VSN), Game of the Week Expanded continues and enhances REV’s tradition of bringing high school sports to the communities it serves. In 2026, five select games will be available and livestreamed directly on REV Fiber’s YouTube channel while five others will be available on Varsity Sports Now’s subscription-based platform.

“High school football has a unique way of highlighting entire communities – every matchup offers an opportunity to showcase the talent, dedication and traditions that define high school football in South Louisiana,” said Tressy Leindecker, REV’s executive vice president of Sales and Marketing. “Whether it’s a longtime rivalry, a homecoming celebration, or a playoff run, these are the moments that families remember. At REV, we are proud to capture these memories and share the stories that make each game special.”

REV’s 2026 Game of the Week schedule features schools from 11 parishes: Ascension, Caddo, East Baton Rouge, Livingston, Orleans, Pointe Coupee, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington.
“The 2026 Game of the Week schedule reflects what is possible when local partners share a commitment to their communities,” said Eric Richey, founder and CEO of Varsity Sports Now. “By bringing together REV’s deep roots in South Louisiana, VSN’s experience in high school sports production and the support of schools across the region, we can showcase more student-athletes, coaches and traditions with the professional, positive coverage they deserve.”

In addition to REV’s livestreamed, gameday coverage of capital area schools on YouTube (REV Video, REV Sports I, REV Sports II) and VSN , all games will air on REV TV beginning the following day.
