The 2026 FHSAA girls volleyball postseason continues Saturday, October 24, with regional semifinals across all classifications and the second round of Open Division pool play. The date also marks the first round of the Rural tournament. Florida’s remaining teams are pursuing spots in the state championship event at Polk State College’s Winter Haven Health Center.
Two postseason paths continue Saturday
Classes 1A through 3A opened regional quarterfinal play October 20, while Classes 4A through 6A began October 21. The inaugural Open Division also started its pool competition October 21. Its schedule continues October 24 and October 28.
Regional finals for Rural and Classes 1A through 3A are scheduled for October 27. Classes 4A through 6A hold their regional finals October 28. The FHSAA championship event in Winter Haven runs November 2-7.
Ticket and schedule information
The FHSAA announcement directs fans to its published brackets for matchups, locations and start times. Digital playoff tickets are available through GoFan. Fans should confirm details with host schools because times and locations are subject to change.
The different formats make the round label important when following results. An Open Division pool match is distinct from a regional knockout match. Readers should use the appropriate bracket when checking a team’s next opponent.
FSB Take
Saturday brings a busy statewide checkpoint for Florida volleyball. Fans can avoid confusion by checking both the classification and tournament format before making plans. The official brackets remain the best starting point for following the road to Winter Haven.
