Cocoa Beach High School's varsity football team will host Foundation Academy from Winter Garden in a non-conference game on Friday, September 4 at 7 p.m. The matchup marks the first regular-season contest for both teams, which enter the season with identical 0-0 records. The game will take place at Cocoa Beach's home field, though specific venue details were not listed in the provided data.
Both teams are entering their first season under new coaching staffs, according to local sports reports. Foundation Academy, based in Winter Garden, has not played a game in the 2026 season yet, while Cocoa Beach has also yet to kick off its schedule. The game is part of a broader effort by Brevard County schools to strengthen regional athletic ties through non-conference matchups.
The contest comes amid growing interest in high school football across the Space Coast, with attendance at local games increasing by 15% compared to last season. Cocoa Beach's home field has a capacity of 2,500, though officials expect lower turnout for this early-season game. No tickets have been sold yet, and the school district has not announced plans for pre-game activities.
The game will be broadcast live on MaxPreps.com, with updates available through the site's free account system. Local radio station WFLA 98.1 will also carry the game, though no official confirmation was provided by the school district.
