To kickoff the 2025 season, The First Academy is already slated to face off against IMG Academy on August 14th (Thursday) at home. The Royals follow that up with two tough home dates against 3-time GHSA state champion Milton and Alabama power Phenix City Central.

The Royals take on Treasure Coast and then hit the road on September 19th to face off against the 4-time FHSAA state champion Venice Indians before going head-to-head with St. Frances Academy in Baltimore.

Final three games of the season for The First Academy come up against St. James (Maryland) on October 17th, Hun School (New Jersey) the following week and on the road to Bryant Stadium to take on 9-time state champ Lakeland.

With the school prohibited from participating in the FHSAA's 2025 postseason due to a ban by the governing body for high school sports in Florida, the Royals have opted for a difficult fall schedule.
