The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association will host a Football Playoff Reveal Show on Saturday, October 19th at 10 am on several TV stations in the state to announce the football playoff field, seeds, and brackets. The show will run from 10 am to 11 am.

The brackets, seeds, and qualifiers for both 11-player and 8-player will be released as part of this show.

The Playoff Reveal Show will air on WKOW in Madison, WAOW Wausau, WXOW La Crosse, WQOW Eau Claire, and My24 in Milwaukee. In addition, WCWF in Green Bay will air it on tape delay from 1-2 pm. For players, coaches, and fans in other parts of the state, the show will livestream on each stations website, including WKOW.com.

WisSports.net General Manager Travis Wilson will be in studio as part of the coverage, as he'll join host Brad Hanson, WAOW News Director, as well as WAOW Sports Director Keegan Hewitt to provide analysis of the playoff brackets.

With the Reveal Show, the timeline and process for releasing the 8-player info and the 224-team 11-player football playoff information, including the qualifiers, seeds, and brackets is expected to be similar to last season.

The Reveal Show will be the official release of the teams that make the field of 224, the divisional placements, and the seeded brackets for each division. There will be NO revealing of qualifiers, seeding or brackets before 10 am on Saturday, October 19th. This means that fans and coaches do not need to stay up late into the evening/following morning on Friday to wait for playoff information.

After the completion of the Reveal Show, the WIAA will then post the information on its website also.

Stay tuned to WisSports.net throughout the weekend, as we will post the full brackets and seeds as soon as they are available, and begin our extensive playoff coverage that will include previews for every division, staff and media partner picks, streaming information, and much more.
