Where to Find Omaha and Lincoln Sports Coverage on KETV
Updated
KETV NewsWatch 7 (ketv.com) carries Omaha and Lincoln sports coverage alongside its news and weather, and you can reach it from the site's main navigation or by following the sports stories featured on the homepage. The homepage currently surfaces items such as "Operation Football: Nebraska high school schedules, scores week 9" and "Nebraska volleyball adds another sweep to its season after taking down UCLA," which shows the mix you can expect: Nebraska high school football, college sports, and local stories with a sports angle. Use this guide if you want a repeatable way to find scores, schedules, and game-day video rather than hunting through the homepage each time.
Start from the KETV homepage
The homepage at ketv.com is organized around a few recurring blocks, and sports content appears in more than one of them:
- Top stories and latest headlines — game results and team news are mixed into the main feed. The volleyball sweep story and the Operation Football schedules post both appeared in this area.
- Video and live streams — the page includes a live player (currently showing a political rally) and video clips attached to individual stories. Game coverage and press conferences often run here.
- Weather, radar, and traffic — the forecast, hourly/daily outlook, radar, and traffic links sit near the top of the page, which matters if you're driving to a game in Omaha or Lincoln.
If you only need one thing, use the site's navigation to jump straight to the sports section instead of scrolling the feed.
Find the sports section and follow a team or league
KETV's navigation includes a sports entry that collects team coverage in one place. From there, the practical path depends on what you're following:
| What you want | Where to look | Example from the site |
|---|---|---|
| Nebraska high school football schedules and scores | Sports section, Operation Football coverage | "Operation Football: Nebraska high school schedules, scores week 9" |
| College sports results | Sports section and homepage feed | Nebraska volleyball's sweep of UCLA |
| Local sports-adjacent news | Main news feed | Skate shop temporarily closes after alleged drunk driver crashes into building |
| Game-day conditions | Weather, radar, and traffic links | Latest forecast, hourly/daily, radar, traffic |
For high school football, Operation Football is the recurring package to watch — it publishes weekly schedules and scores during the season, so checking it on game week is more reliable than searching old headlines.
Use live video and clips for game coverage
KETV runs live streams on the site, and individual stories carry embedded video. The homepage's live player is a general news stream, so it may show news conferences or rallies rather than a game itself. For specific games, open the story about that matchup and use the video attached to it. If you want alerts instead of checking back, the site offers a "Subscribe to emails" link and app downloads for iOS and Android, which is the simplest way to get updates pushed to you.
Check weather and traffic before traveling to a game
Omaha and Lincoln games are often affected by fall weather, and KETV keeps forecast, radar, and traffic links at the top of the homepage. Before driving to a Friday night game, check the hourly forecast and radar for storm timing, then the traffic link for road conditions on your route. This is the same set of tools the newsroom uses for its own weather coverage, so it's a reasonable single stop.
What to expect and common snags
- Scores aren't always in one table. KETV publishes scores through stories like the Operation Football weekly post rather than a permanent scoreboard, so bookmark the sports section and check it on game days.
- Live streams rotate. The live player may carry news or political coverage when no game is on; look for a story-specific video for the event you want.
- Lincoln coverage is mixed in. Lincoln stories appear in the same Nebraska news and sports feeds rather than a separate Lincoln site, so scan headlines for Lincoln datelines.
- Email and app sign-ups are optional. The site links to email subscriptions and app downloads; nothing on the page indicates these are required to read stories.
If your goal is simply to keep up with Omaha and Lincoln sports, start at the sports section, check Operation Football during the high school season, and use the weather and traffic links before you head to a game.
