Football Alberta Weekly Top-10 Rankings

Oct 13, 2026 | 3:22 PM

Here are the Weekly Top-10 Rankings for all five levels of high school football in Alberta for the 2026 season.

These rankings will come out every Sunday (except for Labour Day kickoff) from now up until November 9.

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 teams 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. US 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:

3A #2 St. Paul Lions vs. #1 Holy Rosary Raiders 6:00 p.m., Friday, October 16, Canadian Natural Resources Field (Lloydminster)

This game is a hidden gem on the calendar each year. Arguably the best small-town football rivalry in Alberta, if not Canada. It truly is an intense game whenever these two meet and made extra special this year by their lofty rankings. Both are undefeated, and both have been winning their games by a significant margin. Something has to give this Friday in Lloydminster, and it could be a precursor to the Wheatland League Championship Game in a couple of weeks that will most likely determine which of these powerhouses advances to Provincials.
