Teksas'ın Dillon adlı taşra kasabasında eyalet futbol şampiyonası her şeyden daha önemli. Kaybedilecek şeyler çok büyük, ödül tatlı, üzerlerindeki baskı ise dayanılmaz inanılmaz bir çaba ve hırs
In the small town of Dillon, Texas, one night matters: Friday Night. Eric Taylor has recently been hired as the head football coach for the Dillon High School Panthers, the town's pride and joy. Friday Night Lights displays the stress that the town gives the high school players to win, and the hope that the team gives to a small town, and how a team has its low points, its high points, and how they come together as a team on their way to victory.
