It’s perhaps the largest high school basketball event in the country. It’s the championship games, the finals in all seven classifications of Alabama high schools.
You can catch it in person at Legacy Arena of the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center. You can also watch live from anywhere in the state on Alabama Public Television.
There are seven classes for high school athletics in Alabama. There will be 14 championship games, seven for girls and seven for boys. The two contenders in each game have just won their way through the playoffs, eliminating each rival.
The championship games start at 4 p.m. on Thursday with the 1A girls' final. They end on Saturday at 4:45 p.m. with the 7A Boys' finals.
The entire schedule can be found here.
Tickets are still available at the Legacy Arena gate for those wanting to attend in person. Tickets can be purchased online here.
Games can be viewed on APTV in either of two ways: the free APTV app or on television at any APTV station, available everywhere in Alabama.

It’s a good thing that a statewide network is broadcasting the 2025 high school basketball finals, because they involve 14 games with 28 teams from most every area of Alabama.
When people say, “Alabama is becoming a basketball state,” they don’t mean just Auburn and Alabama. They also mean high school basketball. It’s big.
