Fan Zone: A new way to engage your fans.

Connecting with your school’s fan base has never been more important. Whether it’s parents, students, alumni, or the broader community, fans want to feel engaged, informed, and part of the action. Fan Zone, a powerful new tool in PlayOn HQ, helps schools build stronger, more meaningful connections through engaging, shareable content.

Seamlessly take ready-made content like highlights and game recaps and post to social, sharing your school’s biggest moments front and center across platforms. But that’s just the start. As we continue to evolve and refine the experience, our goal is to provide schools with even more ways to connect with their communities, drive engagement, and maximize their impact.

 

School-branded athletic websites.

Introducing PlayOn Sites: where community connects, brands are built, and programs are elevated. Discover a more engaging way for your community to experience the moments they care about most, no matter where they are.

What's coming.

 

Bringing your fans closer to the game with the NFHS Network.

When the game moves fast and your fans deserve to keep up—just like they do when watching the pros. The first-down line will show fans exactly where the offense needs to go—no guessing, no confusion, just instant clarity. And with instant replays, fans don’t just watch big plays—they relive them and celebrate them again and again. More confidence. More excitement. More of the game your fans love, exactly how they want to see it. Because every fan deserves the best seat in the house—no matter where they’re watching.

Enhanced HQ dashboard view.

The new HQ landing page gives Athletic Directors a clear, actionable dashboard with key metrics like streaming, ticket sales, and revenue—allowing you to make data-driven decisions faster. Real-time prompts help you schedule broadcasts, promote events, and maximize underused tools like concessions and fundraisers to drive engagement and revenue. With a clean, modular design, everything is in one place, cutting clutter and making it easier than ever to unlock new opportunities for your programs with fewer clicks. We are launching this new experience as an “opt in” beginning in March – try it out in HQ and give us feedback! We want to hear from you!

Unlock new contact permissions in HQ.

More control, less hassle! You will soon be able to customize HQ contact permissions for Ticketing, Streaming, and PlayOn Sites, ensuring each person gets the right access for their role—no more, no less. Give your team the keys they need while keeping everything secure and streamlined!

The pulse.
