IHSAA and IHSSN have reached a resolution in their media rights dispute which will make finals round livestreams free for viewers in 2024-25 and conclude their longstanding agreement following this athletic year.

The settlement ends litigation which has been ongoing since the IHSAA filed its initial petition in June 2023. IHSSN has been the IHSAA’s exclusive rights holder for championship events since 2006.

IHSSN will continue to provide for select IHSAA state tournament events for viewing via cable network, broadcast network, www.ihssn.com, and the Watch IHSSN app through the 2025 IHSAA State Baseball Tournament.

IHSSN made state tournament finals available for free streaming starting with last month’s football championships. Earlier state tournament rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, etc.) will require a fee if viewing via livestream.

Media rights for IHSAA events will return to the IHSAA effective Aug. 1, 2025.
