Sports season is officially here! Check out the complete broadcast calendar for Ol' Red 99.5 and KWBE for the 2025-26 school athletics year - it includes our live coverage plans for high school and college sports in Southeast Nebraska for the rest of this year.

You can listen to KWBE and Ol' Red anytime on your radio (1450 AM/99.5 FM), via a smart speaker, through phone apps like TuneIn, or online no matter where you are.

Winter and spring sports broadcast schedules will be added to this list once they are finalized. Game and broadcast start times are always subject to change. Some games may be added or removed to this schedule over the course of the year. 

NOTES: The times listed are the expected start times of the games themselves. All times listed are CST. The start times for live pregame coverage vary by station and by sport. KWBE also carries live broadcasts of select University of Nebraska games; this list only charts the games broadcast exclusively by KWBE. Every Kansas City Royals game airs on partner station 1310 AM KGMT.
