The 2026 high school football season is shaping up to be an exciting one, and few programs are generating as much buzz as Detroit's Cass Technical High School. Known as a powerhouse for college prospects, the Technicians have officially released their fall schedule, and it's packed with marquee matchups that could set the stage for another deep playoff run.
Coming off a stellar 2025 campaign where they posted a 16-1 record and finished as the state runner-up to Detroit Catholic Central, Cass Tech is hungry for redemption. Leading the charge is four-star quarterback Donald Tabron II—one of the nation's top 2028 recruits—who lit up the field last season with 2,819 passing yards and 35 touchdowns. With a roster stacked with talent, the Technicians are poised to make another push for a state championship at Ford Field.
The season kicks off on August 28th at Wayne State University's Amazon Prep Kickoff Classic against Indiana's Michigan City. From there, the schedule features a mix of local rivals and out-of-state challenges, including a trip to Grandville on September 3rd and a showdown with Detroit Martin Luther King Jr. on September 25th. The regular season culminates with the City Championship at Ford Field on October 16th, followed by a home game against Ontario's Huron Heights Secondary School on October 23rd.
Beyond the gridiron, Cass Technical is celebrated for its academic excellence and STEM-focused programs, producing well-rounded student-athletes who excel in the classroom and on the field. Whether you're a fan of high school football or scouting future stars, the Technicians' 2026 slate is one to watch.
