The Florida High School Athletic Association 2025-26 football classifications and district assignments have been finalized. The only change locally from the frist draft is Flagler Palm Coast moving from a Volusia County district to a district with five opponents from Jacksonville and St. Johns County.
FPC won’t be in the same district with Mainland as originally configured. Instead the Bulldogs will be in District 1-6A with Atlantic Coast, Creekside, First Coast, Sandalwood and Tocoi Creek.
Class 6A is now the largest classification for schools with enrollments over 2,400.
Orange City University will be the fourth team in District 2-6A with DeLand, Mainland and Spruce Creek.
Matanzas will likely accumulate the most miles on its district road trips. The Pirates will be in District 3-5A with Gainesville Buchholz, Ocala Forest, Oakleaf in Clay County and ocala West Port.
Seabreeze will be in District 6-4A with Orlando Bishop Moore, Deltonak New Smyrna Beach and Winter Springs.
The district assignments for other sports are scheduled to be released in the spring.
