Ten California high school soccer teams will be able to claim the title of state champion by the end of this weekend as the CIF wraps up its inaugural girls’ and boys’ state tournaments.

The CIF playoffs had previously concluded with NorCal and SoCal champions, but this year the top eight teams from each region were seeded into state brackets across five divisions. 

The top two divisions feature the possibility of a title sweep, with the Mater Dei boys and girls in the Division I finals and San Ramon Valley in the same position in Division II. While it’s no surprise to see the Monarchs in that position given their top-two seeds, the Wolves’ boys were the eighth and final seed in the NorCal half of the bracket and the girls entered the state tournament as the No. 7 seed in the region. 

Who will claim the first statewide championships in California high school soccer this weekend? 

Here’s everything you need to know about watching the CIF girls’ and boys’ finals. 

Where to watch CIF soccer state championships

The CIF soccer state championships will not be available to watch on a national TV channel, but fans can stream games on the NFHS Network.

The NFHS Network offers two basic plans: an Annual Pass ($6.67 per month) or a Monthly Pass ($13.99 per month). These plans give subscribers the ability to watch live sporting events and create clips of their favorite moments from games.
