L-L League Boys’ Teams In 2026 PIAA State Playoffs

Written by: Andy Herr on March 1, 2026

Beginning this weekend, the Lancaster-Lebanon League will send five of its boys’ basketball teams found within three of the state’s six classification systems into the state tournament that will get underway on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon respectively. With just five schools receiving a bid, that ties 2025, 2020, and 2015 for being the fewest produced by the conference within the last 11 years (absent of the 2021 COVID-shrunken bracket).

Four of the five will have designated “road” games while Lancaster Mennonite will serve as the lone team starting states while playing on their own campus. Listed below are the opening round matchups, along with locations and dates/times. Should anyone win and advance beyond these first-round games, those upcoming games will be posted on our Scoreboard tab and each team’s page.
