Coaches and athletic directors have been provided with an interactive scheduling tool to help them schedule non-region games. The tool instantly identifies the other schools who are also open on the same week and looking for a game.
School administrators and coaches are able to access their schedules for adding and editing contests by signing into the TSSAA Portal and using the Change School/Year option from the top menu to switch to the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school year.
The schedules were assembled to assure that the games played on the date and at the location published would have local officiating crews available. While schools can still mutually agree to move region games to other weeks, doing so would mean that the game would no longer be guaranteed to have a local crew available on Friday night.
The games scheduled by the state office have priority for local officiating crews on Friday nights. All other games scheduled, including region games that are moved, are "first-come, first-served" for officials on Fridays based on the the date and time the school adds or edits the game on their 2025 TSSAA Portal schedule. Games that don't have local officiating crews available on Friday will have to be played on another day of the week.
Every possible school will have a region game on the final week of the regular season, Week 11. For the officials to cover all the games that week, schools will alternate playing the Week 11 region game on Thursday or Friday. In 2025, odd-numbered classes will play on Friday and even-numbered classes will play on Thursday. That will be reversed in 2026. Schools will be able to swap home and home on Week 11, but not change the day of the game.
Schools are asked to notify the state office of any potential changes to their region schedules using this form or to contact Richard McWhirter at the state office. Do not use the form for adding or changing non-region games.
"If both the host and visitor use the same officials association, there will be no issue with swapping home and away in those cases," McWhirter said. "But any other moves or swaps could impact whether the game will have a local crew on Friday and the schools may want to talk things through with us before they jump into any changes that would force the game to a Thursday."
A total of 956 contests were scheduled in the process, which includes additional non-region contests that Division II AA and AAA schools will play against one another in 2025 and 2026. There are no region games scheduled on Weeks 1 and 2. On Week 11 there will be a total of 158 region games played (84 on Friday and 74 on Thursday in 2025).
