Arizona high school football scores, Sept. 3-4, 2026

The third week of the 2026 Arizona high school football season kicked off on September 3-4, with games taking place across all six Arizona Interscholastic Conferences. The majority of matches were scheduled for Friday, but a select number were played on Thursday evening. This report provides a running list of games and final score updates as they are released, which can be found on azcentral through Friday night.

Richard Obert from The Republic has his attention focused on the upcoming Tempe vs. Chaparral game on Friday. This matchup is significant as both schools had their original opponents cancel their games this week, so Tempe, a 4A school, graciously agreed to face 5A Chaparral on the road.

Other notable contests include Cactus vs. Millennium and Mesa Mountain View vs. Pinnacle. For a comprehensive list of the top 10 games, readers can refer to The Republic's Top 10 list.

Additional stories this week include one about Desert Edge WR Zerek Sidney joining athletes in Suicide Prevention Month, another feature on The Arizona Republic's high school football rankings through August 31, and a recap of the Chaparral, Tempe, and the overall HS football schedule. The Republic also released their picks for the top 20 Arizona high school football players from August 27-29.
