Statewide high school football playoff pairings for Week 10 have been released, setting the stage for postseason matchups across Washington. The announcement comes as teams prepare for the first round of playoff competition.
A recent game between Puyallup and Graham-Kapowsin on October 30, 2026, in Puyallup showcased the intensity of the regular season's final weeks. Puyallup's Noah Smith handed off to Malcolm Akuffo during that contest, which served as a precursor to the playoff bracket reveal.
The Tacoma News Tribune reported the pairings on November 1, 2026, as schools across the state finalize preparations for the opening round of the postseason tournament.
