North Shore Conference Football 2026: Teams and Schedule Guide
North Shore Conference Football 2026: Teams and Schedule Guide
The North Shore Conference has a new football alignment for the 2026 season. Families should not use the last season’s matchup tables: several schools changed conferences, and repeating last year’s opponents would produce an inaccurate schedule.
Official 2026 North Shore football members
The WIAA’s final 2026–27 football realignment lists eight North Shore Conference programs:
• Cedarburg Bulldogs
• Hartford Orioles
• Homestead Highlanders
• Menomonee Falls Phoenix
• Slinger Owls
• Waukesha West Wolverines
• Wisconsin Lutheran Vikings
• Whitefish Bay Blue Dukes
What changed for 2026
Grafton, Nicolet, Port Washington, West Bend East and West Bend West are grouped in the Glacier Trails Conference for football. Menomonee Falls, Waukesha West and Wisconsin Lutheran are part of the 2026 North Shore football lineup.
This alignment is football-specific. A school’s conference membership in another sport may be different, so verify the sport and season when checking schedules.

How to find the current game schedule
Use the WIAA football schedule directory or each school’s official athletics calendar for exact 2026 dates, kickoff times, locations and late changes. Weather, facility conflicts and tournament scheduling can move games after an article is published.
Check the WIAA football schedules
Before heading to a game
• Confirm whether the game is varsity, junior varsity or freshman.
• Check the listed stadium rather than assuming every home game is played on the high school campus.
• Review the host school’s ticketing and cashless-payment policy.
• Look for weather delays or cancellations on game day.
• Allow extra arrival time for rivalry games and homecoming.

Most varsity games are played on Friday evenings, but Thursday games and other exceptions occur. This guide will avoid publishing an unverified week-by-week table; official school and WIAA schedules are the source of truth.
