Friday Football Tailgate is BACK for Season 2—bigger, bolder, and hitting the road to celebrate high school football like never before!

This fall, we’re bringing our high-energy, fan-fueled pregame show to six incredible communities across America, shining a spotlight on the rivalries, traditions, and hometown pride that make Friday nights so electric.

From epic fan showdowns to live coach and player interviews, wild game predictions, and surprise guest appearances, we’re turning up the heat from 5 PM to 6 PM before kickoff. Whether you’re repping your alma mater, painting your face, or just here for the tailgate vibes, this is YOUR show—a full-throttle, all-access pass to the passion that fuels high school football.

So grab your signs, bring the noise, and join us as we hit the road to celebrate the ultimate grassroots tradition—because Friday Football Tailgate isn’t just a show… it’s an experience!

Let’s get loud. Let’s get hyped. See you under the lights!
