As of the 2016-2017 and the 2017-2018 school years, there will be 570 high school football teams competing in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association's (PIAA) 12 Districts. Each district is divided into numerous leagues and conferences, with an upgrade of the class rankings. Up until the end of the 2016 school year there were only four class rankings, ranging from Class A to Class AAAA. At the beginning of the PIAA 2016-17 school year there will be 2 more class rankings added, making 6 total class rankings. The rankings will range from Class A (1A) to Class AAAAAA (6A). As of the beginning of the 2016-17 school year the PIAA will have 90 A class, 96 AA class, 96 AAA class, 89 AAAA class, 103 AAAAA class and 96 AAAAAA class ranked schools competing throughout the football season. Every 2 years the PIAA reconfigures the class ranks, due to student population changes throughout the Pennsylvania school districts. Below listed are the PIAA football leagues, conferences and teams as of the beginning of the 2016-17 season. The following list of schools does not include every school in the state of Pennsylvania, only the schools with PIAA recognized football teams.
