Alabama high school football 2026 season

Overview

The 2026-27 Alabama high school football season began with the implementation of a new classification structure by the Alabama High School Athletic Association, replacing the seven-class model with six public classes and two private classes.

Early season activity in August included matchups in Chilton and Shelby counties. In Chilton County, Maplesville High School prepared to defend its Class 1A state championship. Shelby County kickoff games featured Thompson against Central-Phenix City, Oak Mountain versus Pelham, and Spain Park at Sparkman, alongside contests such as Chelsea at Southside-Gadsden and Briarwood at Moody.

Following Week 0 and Week 1, several games were completed despite weather delays. In West Alabama, American Christian Academy defeated the Northridge Jaguars 28-14, aided by two interceptions from Caleb Hines. The Hillcrest Patriots secured a 64-0 win against Tuscaloosa County, while Tuscaloosa Academy won 33-12 over Sulligent, led by quarterback Mark Norris’s five touchdowns. Other early victories were recorded by Gordo, Holy Spirit, Northside, Sipsey Valley, and Holt.

As the season progressed into September, Snook Christian Academy began its first season in the Alabama High School Athletic Association, playing its inaugural games in a brand-new stadium. In Class 5A, Region 4, Mountain Brook and Homewood prepared for a rivalry game at Waldrop Stadium, with both teams holding 1-1 records.
