Arizona high school football: Basha unveils full 2026 schedule

The Basha Bears finished the 2025 Arizona high school football season with a 12-1 record. Their victory over Chandler earned them the Class 6A state championship. That finish earned them the No. 1 spot in the Arizona Massey Ratings and the Rivals Composite Team Rankings.

This year, defending the title will be the Bears’ foremost goal in 2026. But before reaching the playoffs, they must do well in their 10-game regular season. The Bears will have five home and five away games.

The Basha Bears will start their season with a championship rematch against the Chandler Wolves at home. They will also welcome Liberty, Westwood, Brophy College Preparatory, and Perry on their home turf. Liberty is the state’s second-best team, according to the Rivals Composite Ranking.

Meanwhile, Basha’s road games will be against Orange Lutheran (California), Pinnacle, Mesa, Salpointe Catholic, and Red Mountain. Pinnacle ranked 14th in the final Arizona high school football Massey Ratings for 2025, while Red Mountain finished eighth.
