Replication-competent reporter viruses are critical tools that enable real-time monitoring of virus replication, facilitating high-throughput screens. In this study, we engineered three recombinant H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b reporter viruses expressing nanoluciferase (NLuc) and two fluorescent reporter proteins, miniGFP2 and UnaG within the open reading frame of the nonstructural gene of the bovine A\/Cattle\/Texas\/063224-24-1\/2024 (TX2\/24) virus. All reporter viruses replicated efficiently\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    , presenting replication kinetics comparable to the parental rTX2\/24 virus, but exhibited smaller plaque sizes, suggesting reduced cell-to-cell spread.\n                    <jats:italic>In vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection studies in mice showed comparable pathogenicity among all four viruses, although rTX2\/24-miniGFP2 and rTX2\/24-UnaG exhibited decreased virus shedding relative to rTX2\/24 and rTX2\/24-NLuc. Virus titrations and\n                    <jats:italic>in situ<\/jats:italic>\n                    localization of virus replication sites demonstrated robust replication in respiratory tissues, with slightly attenuated systemic dissemination of all three reporter viruses. Fluorescent virus neutralization assays using miniGFP2 and UnaG reporter viruses accurately quantified neutralizing antibody titres in sera from naturally infected dairy cattle, consistent with wild-type virus assays. Additionally, the utility of the NLuc reporter virus for antiviral screening was validated against oseltamivir\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
