The NC High School Athletic Association has released its sports schedule for the 2025-26 season.

HighSchoolOT.com reports the schedules took longer to complete this time around due to the expansion from four classifications to eight. More specifics about the postseason will be released closer to the completion of each sport in large part to secure venues for the regionals and championships to be held.

Fall sports will begin on July 30 with the first day of practice for football, volleyball, cross country, girls golf, boys soccer and girls tennis. The first games can be played on Aug. 8 with football scrimmages and Aug. 11 for all other sports. The first football dates will be Aug. 22.

Non-football schools will begin winter practices on Oct. 22 with the other schools following on Oct. 29. Spring sports will hold first practice on Feb. 16.
