Final Brackets & Seeding Meeting

All bracket matchups are final after the seeding meeting is complete, apart from correcting a clerical error. Brackets will not be redrawn after the seeding meeting. If a team drops after the seeding meeting, the match will be treated as a forfeit and the remaining team will advance.

All seeding procedures and tie-breakers are published under Handbook on the 2026 Football Sectional Tournament page. Always refer to that Handbook as the authoritative source.

Standings are displayed through Arbiter. The winning team must enter the final score. Against a non-Section V opponent, the Section V team must enter the final score regardless of the game’s outcome.
