“Varsity Blues” was filmed almost entirely in Texas, mainly around several small towns near Austin.

Main filming locations

  • Williamson County, Texas – A large share of production took place here, especially in and around Georgetown. Key football scenes were shot at Georgetown High School’s Eagle Field.
  • Georgetown, Texas – Used for school and game sequences within the Georgetown Independent School District.
  • Coupland, Texas – This small town provided several residential and bridge locations:
    • Jonathan Moxon’s house: 380 N Broad St, Coupland, TX.
* Lance Harbor’s house: 102 N Broad St, Coupland, TX.

* Bridge scenes: CR 456 bridge over Brushy Creek.

“West Canaan” town and school

  • Elgin, Texas – Stood in for much of the fictional town of West Canaan.
    • West Canaan High School exteriors and school scenes were filmed at Elgin Elementary School, 1005 W 2nd St, Elgin.
* Main street town shots were done on North Main Street and West 2nd Street in Elgin, used as “West Canaan Main Street.”

Austin-area scenes

  • Austin, Texas – Some additional scenes were filmed in and around the city.
    • The strip-club sequence was shot at The Landing Strip, 745 US‑183 (often listed as S Hwy 183), in Austin.
* Other minor scenes and ambience shots were also captured in the Austin area, taking advantage of its mix of urban and rural backdrops.

Overall, although “Varsity Blues” is set in the fictional Texas town of West Canaan, its on-screen world is built from real locations in Georgetown, Coupland, Elgin, and Austin, all within central Texas.
