The Iowa High School Athletic Association has released the football district assignments for the upcoming 2020 season. The Association also announced that the playoff format for the 2020 season will remain unchanged with 16 qualifiers in each class. There had been some rumblings and discussion of possibly increasing the number of postseason qualifiers once again but that will not happen at this time. Full schedules for teams are expected to be released in March.

The 2020 season is schedule to begin with a Week 1 date of August 27th/28th. The 2020 postseason will begin on Friday, October 30th for all classes. The IHSAA RPI will continue to be used for ranking at-large qualifiers for the postseason. Schedules are set to be released on just a one-year cycle.

Class 4A will have a different setup this season using a success model schedule. You can find out more about that setup here: CLASS 4A SUCCESS MODEL SCHEDULE
