2026 NEPSAC Girls Soccer Tournament

NEPSAC girls soccer championship for Classes A, B, C, and D. Applications Oct 15; seeds announced Nov 15; quarterfinals Wed, Nov 18; semifinals Sat, Nov 21; finals Sun, Nov 22 at The Rivers School. The brackets below are the 2025 tournament, not a 2026 seed list.

How selection works

NEPSAC is the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council. The girls soccer championship is played under the New England Preparatory School Girls' Soccer Association, shortened to NEPSGSA. It is a prep-school tournament for New England. It is not the MIAA state tournament, and a Massachusetts school can be in one, the other, or neither.

The championship is four classes: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D. Each class is an eight-team single-elimination bracket. Eight teams means a quarterfinal, a semifinal, and a final. A school is selected into one class for that tournament.

Selection is done by committees of coaches. The 2025 NEPSGSA handbook says the committees weigh the overall record, the record in class, the record against other tournament-eligible teams, head-to-head results, and strength of schedule. NEPSAC does not publish those factors as a weekly public power rating. This page does not turn them into one.

The handbook also describes an optional points formula. A win counts 3 points, a tie counts 1 point, and a loss counts 0. Divide that total by the number of games played. The formula is optional. A committee may use it. It is not itself the seed list, and The Mass Pitch does not run the formula here or publish the result as a ranking.

2026 dates

Applications Oct 15; seeds announced Nov 15; quarterfinals Wed, Nov 18; semifinals Sat, Nov 21; finals Sun, Nov 22 at The Rivers School.

The 2026 NEPSGSA coaches' handbook, posted October 12, 2026, sets the tournament application deadline at October 15, seedings on November 15, quarterfinals on November 18, semifinals on November 21, and finals on November 22 at Rivers School. Class B and Class D finals are at 11:00 a.m. Class A and Class C finals are at 1:00 p.m. The same handbook lists tournament committee meetings on November 14. November 18, 2026 is a Wednesday, November 21 is a Saturday, and November 22 is a Sunday. NEPSAC's tournament page lists the girls soccer championship on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at The Rivers School.

Last year's timeline is the schedule the 2025 championship actually used. Selection committees met and seeds were announced on Saturday, November 8, 2025. Quarterfinals were Wednesday, November 12, 2025. The handbook says those quarterfinals are played at the higher seed. The official bracket also prints a site for each game, and a few of those sites were a different campus. Semifinals were Saturday, November 15, 2025. Finals were Sunday, November 16, 2025, at Deerfield Academy.

2026 dates are from the 2026 NEPSGSA coaches' handbook, posted October 12, 2026 and linked from NEPSAC's girls soccer page. NEPSAC's tournament page lists the girls soccer final for Sunday, November 22, 2026, at The Rivers School.

2026 bracket

Brackets come out after selection. The 2026 handbook sets committee meetings for November 14 and seedings for November 15. The 2026 bracket is not out. There is no 2026 seed, no 2026 pairings, and no 2026 champion to print. This placeholder stays until NEPSAC releases the field.

2026 classes

NEPSAC published the 2026 girls soccer classifications, last updated October 12, 2026. Class A is enrollment 250 and above. Class B is 180 to 249. Class C is 110 to 179. Class D is 110 and below. Those are the bands printed on the classification sheet. The four class pages copy that sheet. Each page lists overall 2026 season records from games on The Mass Pitch, sorted by points, then goal difference, then goals for. Those records are not an official NEPSAC ranking, not a seed list, and not the November bracket.

A conference is still not a tournament class. A Founders League or ISL school can be Class A. The league stored on a school row is the conference used for score syncing. The class pages use the official sheet for those four URLs only. Darrow School and High Mowing School are on the Class D sheet and marked ineligible for the 2026 tournament. This page still does not print a 2026 seed or a 2026 pairing. The brackets below stay the 2025 results until NEPSAC announces the field.

• NEPSAC Class A (250 and above)
• NEPSAC Class B (180 to 249)
• NEPSAC Class C (110 to 179)
• NEPSAC Class D (110 and below)

Classifications per NEPSAC, last updated Oct 12, 2026. NEPSAC girls soccer classifications.

The scores in the class sections are the 2025 championship, copied from NEPSAC's official bracket. They are last year's results. A 2025 seed is not a 2026 seed. A school is named because it played in that bracket, not because this site is picking it to return.

Games the 2025 sheet marked LIVE were streamed from the link on that sheet, www.bit.ly/NEPSACLIVE. The same sheet lists a 9:30 a.m. junior all-star doubleheader, games 1 and 2, on the South Division Fields. It does not print a separate date for the all-star games, so this page does not assign one.

2025 finals

• Class A: No. 2 Miss Porter's School 2, No. 4 Westminster School 0.
• Class B: No. 6 St. George's School 1, No. 5 Williston Northampton School 0.
• Class C: No. 1 Greens Farms Academy 4, No. 2 Brewster Academy 1.
• Class D: No. 4 Vermont Academy 3, No. 2 Tilton School 0.
