The broadcasting of live sporting events on FATV has been a tradition for over 30 years, and is one of the centerpieces of the Civic Channel.

We produce live coverage of all Fitchburg High School football games from Historic Crocker Field, along with every meeting on the gridiron between the Red Raiders and their archrival Leominster High School. Our football coverage also extends to the collegiate ranks, as we also carry all home games for the Falcons of Fitchburg State University.

Another institution of our sports coverage is Hockey Night in Fitchburg, the banner for our coverage for Saturday night ice hockey games dating back to the 1992-93 season. For many years, we’ve produced games from the Wallace Civic Center featuring the Fitchburg/Monty Tech, Fitchburg State, and St. Bernard’s ice hockey teams.

We broadcast many other Fitchburg High School sports including basketball, field hockey, soccer, flag football, and volleyball. We also carry live coverage of the Fitchburg Public Schools Relay Races, an institution of the city which has been run for over 110 years, drawing some of the biggest crowds to Crocker Field year after year.

FATV has also been fortunate to cover games in some of the grandest stages of the region. We were able to bring our production truck and our crew of staff and volunteers to Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, and the TD Garden to bring live coverage of some of our local team’s biggest moments to the homes of our viewers.

Today, our sports coverage is one of our strongest assets at FATV. In 2026, FATV was honored to be named a recipient of the Joao Rodrigues Distinguished Service Award by the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Athletic Directors Association (MSSADA), an award given to those who have volunteered their services to the schools and communities, while also providing a long standing involvement with high school activities at the local level. This award is a testament to the years of dedication put in by everyone who has worked, and continues to work, to spotlight local sports on FATV.
