The No. 1 teams in Iowa boys high school soccer remained ranked in the same position this week, as the Iowa High School Athletic Association released the official rankings for the 2026 season.

Johnston (Class 4A), Dallas Center-Grimes (Class 3A), Gilbert (Class 2A) and Iowa City Regina (Class 1A) held firm through the past week of matches to maintain the top position in their respective classifications.

These rankings are a key factor in the future release of postseason assignments and state tournament seedings. The IHSAA will use these to determine who is paired with whom while also taking into consideration school and geographic considerations.

The rankings will be released weekly and are built by a committee that includes former coaches, officials and in-state program representation.

Johnston Remains Atop Class 4A

In Class 4A, the state’s largest classification for boys soccer, Johnson remains undefeated, sporting a record of 5-0. Ankeny Centennial and Cedar Rapids Prairie follow, with both unbeaten but holding one draw each.
