WFMY Friday Football Fever Game of the Week: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the WFMY Friday Football Fever Game of the Week and who runs it?

WFMY Friday Football Fever Game of the Week is a weekly public vote on high school football games across the Triad. WFMY News 2, the Greensboro station of the Triad, runs the ballot, and the voting takes place on Crowdsignal (poll.fm), a third-party polling platform. Each week the station puts a set of Friday matchups on the ballot, and readers pick the game they want featured.

The program is a sports program built around Friday night football in the Greensboro market, a weekly series that the station runs in its own name. Its answer options are matchups, each pairing two schools, rather than individual players. That format is the clearest way to tell it apart from the athlete polls in the sibling list below.

When does the Friday Football Fever vote open and close?

The ballots run each football season, and the facts place the weekly voting from August through October. Each Friday ballot has its own closing time, which the ballot prints, so the reader should check the open ballot rather than rely on a season-wide date.

The seasons confirmed in this page's facts are 2018, 2019, and 2021 through 2026. The facts show no season for 2020, and the dated history below keeps that gap visible rather than filling it in.

The ballot dated September 11 in 2026 carries the matchups in the table below, and it shows that a single Friday ballot can hold several games side by side. The exact closing day for future weeks is not published in the facts; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How does a supporter vote on the ballot today?

A supporter opens the week's Crowdsignal (poll.fm) ballot, reads the matchups offered, and selects the one they want featured. Since anyone can cast a ballot here, the mechanic is a single choice from a visible list rather than a nomination or a jury step, and the closed ballot shows each matchup's share of the votes.

The matchups on the ballot pair one school with another, so the choice is between games. The facts held here describe the ballot as a public vote and say nothing further about the mechanic. No judging panel, nomination form or bonus rule appears in them. For a general walk through how public polls work, see the how-to guides hub.

The table below shows the matchups printed on the ballot dated September 11, 2026, so a reader can see the kind of choice the Friday ballot presents.

The ballot does not print a vote cap, a daily limit or an eligibility rule in the facts held here, so those questions should be checked on each week's live page rather than assumed from another poll.

How does this Friday ballot sit beside the other Greensboro and Charlotte polls?

This program sits in a group of North Carolina sports polls, and the sibling routes below show how the group is organized. Most siblings are athlete or player programs run by other outlets in Charlotte and Greensboro, and one is a scholar athlete program. The Friday ballot differs from them in its format: it picks a football game, not an individual athlete.

The table lists each sibling route so a reader can move between the polls directly. Each entry is a page on this site, and each covers its own market and its own organizer.

Each sibling is a separate series with its own market, so a reader comparing them should check which season and area each ballot covers. For the state-level hub, see the North Carolina page.

How can a supporter get more votes for a Friday game in this poll?

Support for a game on a public ballot usually comes from people who follow those schools. This poll's public mechanic rewards that kind of reach, since each Friday ballot is a single list of matchups and a closed tally. The organizer's own guidance on outside help is not printed in the facts held here, so any outreach should follow the ballot's posted rules.

Students, parents and alumni who want to widen reach can share the ballot link with the people who already watch those schools play. Paid vote services are a separate option that some readers look at, and they are covered on the sports fan poll votes page, with WFMY's rules still applying.

The one thing this poll's facts make plain is that its votes are counted on the public ballot itself, so the sensible approach is to share the link early in the week and check the closed tally afterward.
