High school football schedules for the 2026 season are coming out one-by-one out of every state around the country and one that is a breeding ground for college prospects is Alabama, with a number of squads finalizing their fall slates.
As February rolls on and heads into the latter end of the month, another notable Alabama high school football program has released their 2026 schedule as the 13-time AHSAA state champion Hoover Buccaneers posted on social media its slate for the fall. When it comes to popularity, the Buccaneers are one of the country’s more recognizable programs due to their time on the MTV series ‘Two-A-Days’ that showcased the 2005 and 2006 seasons at Hoover. Two decades later, the Buccaneers remain one of Alabama high school football’s most well known programs.
