The Iowa High School Sports Network and Iowa High School Athletic Association Agree to Terminate Exclusive Media Rights Agreement at the end of the 2024-25 Athletic Season

IHSAA- The Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) and Iowa High School Sports Network (IHSSN) will end their longstanding media rights agreement at the end of the 2024-2025 athletic year.

This will end the litigation between the two entities after the IHSAA filed its initial petition in June 2023 when the IHSSN started charging viewers for their state tournament coverage, starting with the 2023 state baseball tournament.

The IHSSN, who was the exclusive rights holder for championship events since 2006, will continue to provide for select IHSAA state tournament events through the 2025 state baseball tournament. The state tournament finals will be free to stream but all earlier rounds will require a fee to livestream.

The IHSAA will regain the media rights on August 1st, 2025.
