A brief clarification: Since you specifically asked about the 2025 season and not the 2026 season, this article covers a season that has already concluded: Delaware’s playoffs ended in late November 2025. This means that the final results are available in full, rather than the “pre-season” format used for states just starting their seasons.
Delaware crowned three state champions to close out the 2025 season, with the most notable result coming in Class 3A: Middletown defeated Salesianum in the championship game, avenging a previous loss and denying the Sallies the chance to reclaim the title they had also won in 2023. Middletown’s defense was key in that rematch: the Cavaliers had beaten Salesianum 16-2 in October thanks to 300 rushing yards and four interceptions of Salesianum’s quarterback, and they carried that momentum into the championship game.
In Class 2A, Red Lion Christian Academy captured the title, while in Class 1A, Seaford was crowned champion. This program, whose last team championship in any sport dated back to 1997, made the victory a truly historic moment for the school. All three championship games were played at Delaware State University Alumni Stadium in Dover during the same weekend in November, a tradition the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association has maintained for years.
Salesianum began the season as one of the top-ranked teams in the state after a nine-game winning streak, while a Class 2A program had achieved an even longer active streak—26 straight wins and two consecutive state titles—before defending its own championship.
The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association website offers complete results and championship archives, while MaxPreps’ Delaware football section includes schedules and results for each team for those who wish to view the complete 2025 season of a specific program.
