Florida High School Football Playoffs 2025: Brackets and Championship Schedule Set

The 2025 Florida high school football playoffs are officially underway. The postseason began on Thursday, November 13 across the state. The road to a state title will conclude with championship games in Miami this December.

According to the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), the tournaments feature classifications from 1A through 7A, plus new “FIT” and “Rural” divisions. The action culminates at South Dade Kia Field at Pitbull Stadium.

A New Playoff Structure Guides the Path to Miami

This year’s format includes significant changes. The FHSAA introduced new divisions labeled FIT 1, FIT 2, Rural FIT, and Rural. These classifications aim to create more competitive balance based on school size and resources.

The traditional numbered classifications (1A-7A) continue as the main events. Brackets for all divisions are now available for teams, fans, and scouts. Every game is a single-elimination contest.

Victory means advancing one step closer to a state title. A loss ends the season immediately. The stakes create an intense and dramatic atmosphere every week.

Championship Week Details and What to Expect

State championship games are scheduled from December 10 through December 13. The venue is the same for all finals: Pitbull Stadium in Miami. This provides a neutral-site, premier location for the season’s biggest games.

The schedule spreads the games across four days. For example, the 2A title game is set for Wednesday, December 10. The 7A championship will close the event on Saturday, December 13.

This setup allows maximum exposure for each classification. It also lets fans follow multiple games if they wish. The week represents the pinnacle of Florida prep football.

The journey for dozens of teams is now focused on one goal: winning a Florida high school football state championship in Miami. The brackets are set, and the chase for glory has begun.
