Friday Night Lights returns to Northwest Florida.

The 2024 high school football season is here in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties from the end of August until – at least – the end of the regular season at the end of October into the beginning of November. However, there are surely several teams that will look to extend their seasons as long as possible.

State championships will be in December, and will be at a location that is still to be determined.

Below is the one-stop shop for the entire 2024 football season. From team previews to weekly capsules, feature stories and weekly results, this page will be updated every week as we move through the fall.

Note: games are subject to change and will be updated accordingly.
