The Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) schedules eight football state championship games for Thursday to Saturday, Dec. 10-12, 2026, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, according to its football page. The event is the 2026 Allstate Sugar Bowl LHSAA Prep Classic. The table gives each kickoff in Central Time (CT), Eastern Time (ET), Mountain Time (MT) and Pacific Time (PT). No matchup is set yet.

LHSAA Prep Classic 2026 schedule and kickoff times

LHSAA’s page prints the times without a time zone. New Orleans is on Central Time and December is Central Standard Time, so the times below are read as local time at the Superdome. The ET, MT and PT columns are our addition: one hour later, one hour earlier and two hours earlier.

What is the road to the Superdome?

LHSAA’s football calendar lists each round under one date; the brackets on the association’s site give each game’s own day and site.

Round	Listed date
Regionals	Nov. 19, 2026
Quarterfinals	Nov. 26, 2026
Semifinals	Dec. 3, 2026
Allstate Sugar Bowl LHSAA Prep Classic	Dec. 10, 2026

LHSAA’s calendar lists the quarterfinals on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, 2026. The matchups come out of the semifinals, so they are not known before the week of Dec. 3.

Why is it called the Prep Classic?

The Allstate Sugar Bowl says on its LHSAA page that the football state championship “will now be entitled the ‘LHSAA Allstate Sugar Bowl Prep Classic.’” LHSAA’s own football page labels the 2026 event “2026 Allstate Sugar Bowl LHSAA Prep Classic”.

LHSAA Prep Classic tickets, TV and streaming for 2026

LHSAA’s football page does not list a ticket price, a ticket seller, parking or a TV and streaming plan for 2026. All four are not yet announced here, and this page will carry them once LHSAA or the Sugar Bowl posts them.
