The Minnesota State High School League released the new football districts and sub-districts for 2025 and 2026.

You can view the 2024 districts here.

This year, notable district changes include Moorhead — now a 6A school — leaving the Northstar North district, which included Alexandria, and being placed in the Metro West, which includes Maple Grove, Edina, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie.

The MSHSL requires that teams play a full district schedule to be playoff-eligible. Once sub-district opponents are scheduled, the remainder of the regular-season schedule will be filled out. Teams will have cross-over games with teams from another sub-district within the same district or, with permission from the MSHSL’s placement committee, games can be played against teams from other districts.
