🌧️Inclement Weather Policy
If inclement weather forces the postponement of a championship baseball or softball game, that game will moved to the end of the schedule and be played on Sunday or Monday. This will allow games that were scheduled to avoid conflicts with graduation to continue to be played at the scheduled time if weather permits. This will also allow Arkansas TV to continue to televise the games as scheduled if possible. All efforts will be made to get the games in on the days scheduled even if weather delays completion.
📍 Watch Online
📺 Can’t make it to the games? The Class 1A-6A Baseball and Softball State Championships will be broadcast live statewide on Arkansas TV Sports (and streaming live at arkansastv.gov/live). Soccer finals will stream live digitally via the NFHS Network.
