RiversideTV, the City of Riverside's government access television station, has launched its 2026 high school and Riverside City College (RCC) football coverage with live game broadcasts and a weekly recap show.
The coverage began Friday, Aug. 21, with Hillcrest facing Poly, and continues this Friday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m., when Ramona takes on Arlington. RiversideTV will broadcast select games live throughout the season, giving residents who can't make it to the stands a way to follow local student-athletes and school communities.
After each Friday night's action wraps up, RiversideTV airs Friday Night Pep Rally at 11 p.m., featuring highlights, scores and interviews from high school football games happening across Riverside.
"Local football is about so much more than what happens on the field," Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson said in a statement. "It's student athletes, coaches, families, alumni and entire school communities coming together. RiversideTV gives us an opportunity to showcase that energy and celebrate our students and schools throughout Riverside."
