Football Alberta Weekly Top-10 Rankings

Oct 7, 2025 | 7:12 PM

Here are the Weekly Top-10 Rankings for all five levels of high school football in Alberta for the 2025 season.

These rankings will come out every Sunday (except for Labour Day kickoff) from now up until November 2. At that time, those will be the last rankings, and teams will take this rank into Provincials.

The 12-a-side teams are slotted into their levels based on their estimated school size by School Sport Alberta, while the 9 and 6-a-side are one level only. Some re-sorting of 12-a-side levels will take place after the final official population numbers are recorded at the end of September.

Note: games vs. U.S. opponents, scrimmages, or tournaments are not taken into consideration for ranking or listed in the overall record of the schools.

UPCOMING GAME(S) OF THE WEEK:

With the job action from the Alberta Teachers Association scheduled to begin on Monday, October 6, all extracurricular activities, including high school football games, are on pause for the duration.

Most leagues in the province have cancelled their schedule for the next week as a minimum which was to feature a great game in the Rockyview League at the 4A level with Cochrane travelling to Airdrie for a date with George McDougall and the 5A “Grandaddy of them All” between St. Francis and Notre Dame (CGY) in McMahon Stadium which would have been – as usual each season – the largest crowd to see a high school football game in Canada.

In this edition of the rankings, we have included the scheduled next week opponents so people can see who the teams might have played.

The School Sport Alberta association has released contingency plans for operating Provincials based on the number of weeks the job action continues. However, should it still be in place as of November 4, then there will be no Alberta Bowl in 2025.

Football Alberta truly hopes for a fair and equitable end to the job action and, like everyone else, will wait until there is a resolution before releasing future rankings.

For now, we’ll just have to look at the top teams in 5A and wonder what if, and marvel at the wonderful, chaotic worlds of 4A, 3A, 9aside and 6aside. All the best to the student athletes in their upcoming challenges until we see you on the field again.
