The 2019 WPIAL playoff field is set. There is only one game on Saturday but it will not change the playoff standings. Below is a list of teams that have qualified and which teams have earned home playoff games. The WPIAL has a policy of awarding a conference championship to all teams that finish with an identical record, regardless of tie-breakers. The WPIAL considers those teams “co-champions” and each school gets a conference champion trophy.

The full playoff brackets will be released on Monday night during the WPIAL Selection Show.

Note: All records listed are conference records.
