The four WPIAL football championship games held at Acrisure Stadium will be televised this year, thanks to support from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the WPIAL announced Tuesday.
The Class A, 2A, 3A and 4A finals on Nov. 24 will be televised by KDKA+, which previously was known as Pittsburgh’s CW. The championship schedule, which starts with the smallest schools, has games at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.
“We are excited to bring the WPIAL Championships that will be played at Acrisure Stadium back to television,” Dan Rooney, the Steelers’ director of business development and strategy, said in a statement. “This provides another platform to spotlight and celebrate the young athletes who play the game of football in Western Pennsylvania. We’d like to thank our partners who helped make this possible.”
The WPIAL announcement said the Steelers had partnered with 84 Lumber, Acrisure and Giant Eagle.
The TV plan did not include the WPIAL championship games for Class 6A and 5A. Those games are Saturday at Norwin.
