2025 Sac-Joaquin Section Flag Football Playoff Projections - Oct. 14

The Sac-Joaquin Section flag football playoffs will begin on Oct. 29 and conclude with the finals on Nov. 8 at Cosumnes River College.

Each league will qualify three automatic entries if it has six or more teams; leagues with five or fewer teams will qualify two. Teams that are not automatic qualifiers may still earn at-large bids if they finish within the top 15 in their MaxPreps division rankings.

There will be four total brackets, each comprised of 16 teams. Play-in games are possible.

Below are projected brackets — we have not yet seeded the teams. Bracket projections will be updated twice a week until the official brackets are released early next week.
