Texas high school football realignment: UIL Class 6A districts for 2024-26
The updated Texas high school football districts are in.
The University Interscholastic League unveiled its updated new realignment for the 2024-26 school years on Thursday morning.
UIL member school enrollment is reassessed every two years, and classifications and districts are rearranged accordingly.
MORE REALIGNMENT: CLASS 5A | CLASS 4A | CLASS 3A
Class 6A consists of 249 schools with a minimum enrollment 2,275. Some schools below the 6A enrollment cutoff petitioned to be (or stay) in 6A, like two-time defending 6A Division II state football champion DeSoto, which reported an enrollment of 2,127.
DeSoto is one of seven schools that petitioned up to 6A. In total, 17 schools made the jump from 5A and 17 dropped from 6A to 5A.
The classification cutoffs for the 2024-26 UIL realignment cycle are set and the districts are in. Scroll down for the new UIL district alignments for Class 6A for the 2024-25 and 2025-26 Texas high school football seasons:
| CONFERENCE | ENROLLMENT | # SCHOOLS | # SCHOOLS (W/ FOOTBALL) |
|---|---|---|---|
6A | 2,275+ | 247 | 247 |
5A | 1,315-2,275 | 253 | 250 |
