The biennial day of UIL Realignment brings together high school football coaches and athletic directors in Dallas-Fort Worth as they eagerly await the release of the new football districts for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

Why It Matters

The realignment determines which teams will face each other for district games, impacting schedules, travel, and competitive dynamics for the next two years.

State of Play
  • High school football coaches and athletic directors gather to learn about the new football districts for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
  • Teams will find out which classification they'll reside in and the teams they'll face for district games.
  • The biggest challenge is finding non-district games, and many coaches scramble to schedule these games after the announcement.
  • Coaches must negotiate and agree on non-district games, and perennially successful programs may face difficulties in this process.
What's Next

Teams will begin the process of scheduling non-district games and preparing for the next two years of Texas high school football, with some already facing challenges in finding suitable opponents.

Bottom Line

The UIL Realignment Day sets the stage for the next two years of high school football, impacting team schedules, travel logistics, and competitive dynamics.
