High school football 2026 schedule, week by week, for Gainesville area

[ASFN Admin]

Have you ever wanted to see the schedule of every Gainesville area high school football team, but didn’t want to scour pages of MaxPreps?

We have a solution, and it’s this article right here from the Gainesville Sun.

We compiled the schedule of every football program in the area, from Bell to Williston.

Many of our programs have moved to the Sunshine State Athletic Association (SSAA), which begins its season on Aug. 14. That Friday is the preseason game for FHSAA squads. Their season begins a week later, Aug. 21.

Each team’s schedule comes from MaxPreps, and asterisks are district games. All times are in eastern.

Enjoy!
