Idaho 3A football state playoffs: Schedule, matchups and scores

See the full playoff field and bracket for the 3A Idaho high school football playoffs below. We will update this page with scores and matchups throughout the playoffs.

The 3A classification runs its playoffs differently. The four league champions receive automatic byes into the quarterfinals. The next eight highest ranked teams in the MaxPreps rankings meet in the first round. But those matchups will be set by a committee.

The quarterfinals are then seeded one through eight via the final regular-season MaxPreps rankings.
