High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Florida, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.

Next up out of the Sunshine State to unveil who they will play for the 2026 high school football season is the Choctawhatchee Indians, which made a run to the FHSAA’s Class 4A state semifinals, losing to eventual champion Plantation American Heritage. The Indians, coached by head coach Frank Beasley, were the best team out of the Florida Panhandle and put together another difficult schedule, which includes seven teams that reached the postseason last year.

Looking at the Choctawhatchee schedule, the Indians will face multiple teams from the state of Alabama, including the 2025 Class 7A state champion Thompson Warriors and the Auburn Tigers. Notably, Beasley’s bunch will open the season up on a Thursday night (Aug. 20) when they travel to Panama City to face A. Crawford Mosley.
