Iowa High School Softball Regional Championship Games Set

The Iowa high school softball season is fast approaching state tournament week, as regional finals in all five classifications are now set.

Teams in Class 1A and Class 2A take to the diamond on Monday, July 13 in regional finals while Class 3A, Class 4A and Class 5A all play on Tuesday, July 14. The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union State Softball Tournament begins on Monday, July 20 at Rogers Park in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

New this summer will be a double-elimination format in all five classes. Each class will compete on the same diamond throughout the week until the championships, which will be streamed live.

Iowa is the only state in the nation that holds its softball season during the summer months, with Rogers Park and Fort Dodge being home to the state event every year since 1970.

New Champion Will Be Crowned In Class 4A

Waukee Northwest, the reigning Class 5A state titleholders, secured a spot in the regional finals while Pella, the Class 4A queen in 2025, was knocked off in the semifinals by Grinnell. Class 3A’s reigning state champs, Williamsburg, punched a ticket to the final round.

Clarksville is the Class 1A defending state champions, as Van Meter, who captured the Class 2A crown last year, moved up to Class 3A this season and will play for a regional title.

The last official set of class rankings was released by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union, with the No. 1 teams in their respective classes being Waukee Northwest (Class 5A), ADM (Class 4A), Williamsburg (Class 2A), Riverside (Class 1A) and Exira-EHK/Audubon (Class 1A).
