Fiesta Bowl High School Football Showdown
After a successful first season in elevating the stature of high school football in Arizona, CW7 Arizona and Fiesta Sports Foundation are bringing back another season-long slate of live television broadcasts and on-location high school football activations as part of the Fiesta Bowl High School Football Showdown program.
The 11-game schedule includes live televised kickoffs in an exclusive Thursday night window on CW7 Arizona and features four teams that competed in the 2025 Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) Open Championship division. New to the schedule this year will be the determination of the final week's contest during the season, thereby giving flexibility to place what will be one of the state's most compelling matchups in the final week of the regular season.
Fiesta Bowl High School Football Showdown gamedays begin with a live pep rally broadcast from that week's host school on CW7's Arizona Daily Mix, hosted by Brad Perry and featuring Fiesta Sports Foundation mascot Spirit. CW7 will also air a live pregame show at 6:30 p.m., leading into a 7 p.m. kickoff. Fiesta Sports Foundation will be on-site every week to enhance the game experience, along with providing exclusive in-game coverage and live behind-the-scenes postgame coverage at @Fiesta_Bowl on X and Instagram.
