Here is the 2025 schedule for all Rockford-area high school football teams, listed both team-by-team and a master week-by-week list.
Here is the complete list of regular-season IHSA football games for Rockford-area football teams for the 2025 season. Teams are listed by conference — NIC-10, Big Northern Conference, NUIC, and then area 8-man teams — with their week-by-week schedules given individually. Below that, we will list a week-by-week master schedule, listing every local team playing that week.
Practice starts for every high school football team in Illinois on Monday, Aug. 11, while the first game for Rockford-area high school football teams is Thursday, Aug. 28, when Byron heads to Rock Falls. The IHSA playoffs begin on Halloween this year, Friday, Oct. 31.
