"High School Showcase" is a presentation of high school football and high school basketball on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The official name is "Old Spice High School Showcase presented by Honda". Since debuting in 2005, it primarily airs on Friday at 8pm ET on ESPNU, following "ESPNU Recruiting Insider", but will occasionally air at various times and days on ESPN and ESPN2. Various commentators call the game every week, although Mike Hall and Tom Luginbill anchor the halftime report and in-game updates. In 2005, the game was called "Old Spice Red Zone High School Showcase".

"Old Spice High School Showcase" aired only four games in 2005, but after much success ESPN expanded its schedule to a full thirteen game season. Part of what lead ESPN to expanding its schedule is, in 2005, ESPN aired the highest rated high school football game in television history. Nease High School (Florida) vs. Hoover High School (Alabama) garnered a 1.0 rating and attracted nearly one million households.

"Old Spice High School Showcase" started to air high school basketball games in 2006, as well.
