How to Find High School Sports Schedules and Scores for Your State on MaxPreps

Updated

Go to maxpreps.com, pick your state from the "High School States" list, then open your school or team page to see its schedule and scores. This works for any U.S. state plus Washington, DC and prep schools, and it's the fastest path when you already know which school you're following.

Start From the State List

The MaxPreps homepage is organized around a "High School States" section that lists every state alphabetically, from Alabama through Wyoming, with Washington, DC and a separate "Prep Schools" entry included. That list is your entry point.

  1. Open maxpreps.com.
  2. Find the "High School States" section on the page.
  3. Select your state (for example, Texas or Ohio).

You land on a state-level page that acts as the hub for high school sports coverage in that state.

Find Your School or Team Inside the State

Once you're on the state page, the goal is to narrow from state to school to team:

  • If you know the school name, look for it directly within the state's school listings.
  • If you're browsing, use the state page to scan schools and teams in your area.
  • If you follow a specific sport, move from the school page into that sport's team page, where the schedule and scores live.

The site also surfaces "Most Followed Schools" and "Most Followed Athletes," which can help you confirm you've found the right program when school names are similar.

Where Schedules and Scores Appear

MaxPreps describes its coverage as rankings, stat leaderboards, schedules, scores, and news for high school teams and players, across sports including football, basketball, and many others. In practice:

What you want Where to look
A team's game-by-game schedule The team page for that school and sport
Results of played games The same team page, alongside the schedule
Rankings and stat leaders State and sport sections
News The News section and state pages

Schedules and scores are tied to a specific team page, so the state → school → team path is what makes them findable.

Follow Schools and Players You Check Often

If you check the same school or athlete repeatedly, use the follow options tied to "Most Followed Schools" and "Most Followed Athletes." Following keeps the programs you care about easy to return to instead of re-navigating the state list each time.

Common Snags

  • Can't find the school: Try the "Prep Schools" entry if it's a private or preparatory program, and check spelling variations of the school name.
  • State page but no team: Make sure you've selected the specific sport; a school page lists teams by sport.
  • Coverage gaps: MaxPreps relies on reported data, so some smaller programs may have incomplete schedules or missing scores.

What to Expect on Cost

MaxPreps materials reference "premium" and "purchase," which suggests some features may be paid. The available information doesn't specify which features are free versus premium, so check the site directly before assuming full access.
