It’s time for high-octane playoff baseball in the Midwest.
The IHSAA baseball state championship begins Monday with championship games across all four levels of competition set for Friday. Games at the Class 1A and Class 2A ranks will take place in Carroll, with Class 3A and Class 4A set for postseason action in Sioux City.
At the Class 1A level, No. 2 seed Lynnville-Sully vies for back-to-back titles. There’s also a chance for a repeat champion in Class 2A, with Underwood entering this year’s tournament as the No. 1 seed in its division.
Some of Iowa’s top teams will also compete for a state championship, with Class 4A looking particularly formidable. The quarterfinals include three teams ranked inside the top-10 in the latest Max Preps poll: No. 2 Johnston, No. 4 Iowa City, and No. 7 Waukee.
Here’s everything that you need to know about watching the 2025 Iowa high school baseball playoffs, including streaming information for every game.
