San Antonio high school football enters the 2026 season with several teams positioned to compete for district and regional championships. Across multiple classifications, from 6A through independent programs, teams have been preparing to face increasingly competitive schedules beginning this weekend.
Several powerhouse programs return significant talent. Steele, coming off an 11-2 season, brings back quarterback D.J. Green and multiple defensive starters. Johnson finished 13-1 last year with eight returning offensive starters led by quarterback Elvis Estrada. Davenport, also undefeated in district play, returns quarterback Tristan Torrez and several key offensive and defensive contributors. Meanwhile, defending regional contenders like Smithson Valley and Boerne Champion bring back experienced rosters seeking deep playoff runs.
Several teams experienced coaching changes, adding intrigue to district races. Programs across all classifications face the challenge of replacing key graduated players while developing depth. First-year varsity programs, including New Braunfels Long Creek and Medina Valley Creek View, enter competition for the first time, bringing fresh energy to their respective districts.
The 2026 season promises competitive matchups across all district classifications, with teams beginning their quests for state championships. Fans can follow their favorite teams’ progress throughout the regular season and into the playoffs with schedules available for all San Antonio-area programs.
