Athletics Live Stream

This year, CVCA continues their partnership with the NFHS Network to live stream home athletic contests. All home contests in Royals Stadium and Tim Beyerle Memorial Gymnasium will be available to watch live or on demand through our NFHS Network page. A subscription to the NFHS Network is required to view our games and will also provide you access to games streamed by other schools through the NFHS Network. One very exciting update this year is that home varsity football games will also be streamed to the CVCA Livestream YouTube page. No subscription required for YouTube games. Links to both can be found below. 

CAUTION! There are many spammers out there, especially on social media, that share fake links to games. CVCA will only stream through its NFHS and/or YouTube channels. For away games, make sure any link is shared by an official school account.
