Post Season Play 2026

After the regular season, there are several championship opportunities for teams that qualify. First up are the Section Five Tournaments for four classes (A-B-C-D).

There are FOUR classes again this year.

In 2016, and after much debate, the NYSPHSAA reorganized the New York State Tournaments into four classes and so there are four tournaments at the sectional level again this year. The last change occurred in 2000 when the state moved from two to three classes.

The Bracket page includes printable PDF files for each Class Tournament.
