List of counties and schools when they will start football practices & play first game

This is a list of counties and schools (public and private) of when they will start practices and when they will hold their first game. Please note that just because the FHSAA says that August 24 is the first day practices can start is not when all will start. This also holds true that the first game date is set for September 4 does not mean all schools will play their first game on that date.

The breakdown is county-by-county in ABC order. The information listed will be for the public school district. After that for under each county, private, lab, and charter schools will be listed as they may choose to start on a different date.

If you have any updates to this list, please email me directly at joshua.wilson@floridahsfootball.com with your information, including if there is any county travel restrictions.
