The 2025 CIF Southern Section girls soccer playoff brackets have arrived. And they are never ending.

A remarkable 264 teams make up the nine-division tournament which gets underway on Wednesday and concludes Feb. 28 or March 1.

Top seeds in each Division are Redondo Union (Open Division), JSerra Catholic (Division 1), Montclair (D2), Valencia (D3), Marlborough (D4), Ventura (D5), Whittier Christian (D6), Oxford Academy (D7) and South el Monte (D8).

Defending champions are: Roosevelt (D1), Quartz Hill (D2), Apple Valley (D3), Louisville (D4), Estancia (D5), Diamond Ranch (D6) and Artesia (D7).

As popular as the sport has been in the past, it actually grew two divisions, including the Open Division. which as in all CIF sports, pits the top teams. Unlike the other massive 32-team divisions, the Open features only eight squads and it features a Champions League-style format (two games, rotating home sites and decided by cumulative score).
