ATX TV Festival presents Friday Night Lights

Join the cast & creatives of Friday Nights Lights for a true Texas homecoming in honor of the show’s 20th Anniversary, as they receive ATX TV Festival’s 2026 “Texas Made” Award, presented with Media For Texas.
The cast, showrunner, writers and directors that shaped the fictional town of Dillon reunite for a look back at the season that started it all, the show’s indelible impact on Texas and TV, and why its characters, relationships, and motto (“clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose”) continue to resonate so deeply.
Supported by Austin Film Commission.
