The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WIAA) announced the 2026 girls soccer playoff brackets this week, laying out a compressed but intense postseason that begins on Tuesday, June 2, with the first round of regional competition.
Tournament Timeline and Regional Action
Regional finals are slated for Saturday, June 6, after a week of opening‑round matchups that will determine which teams advance to the next stage. The winners of those finals will then meet in the sectional round on Saturday, June 13, setting the stage for the culminating state tournament.
The WIAA state tournament will be held at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee from Thursday, June 18, through Saturday, June 20. Over those three days, the four divisions will each conduct semifinals and finals, crowning champions in front of a statewide audience.
Division‑by‑Division Matchup Schedule
Division 1 opens its semifinals on Thursday, June 18, with games at 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., and the division final follows on Saturday, June 20, at 1:30 p.m. Division 2 mirrors the same Thursday slate, but its championship is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Saturday. Division 3 moves its semifinals to Friday, June 19, at 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., with the final set for 7 p.m. on Saturday. Finally, Division 4’s semifinals also take place on Friday, June 19, at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., and its final will be played at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
The condensed schedule means teams must transition quickly from regional play to sectional competition, and the state finals will compress multiple divisional championships into a single weekend. Fans can expect a packed slate of high‑stakes matches, with each division’s title decided in a matter of hours on the tournament’s final day.
