This page tracks North Carolina high school football scores for Week 3 of the 2026 season, with games scheduled on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 3-4.
For the third week in a row we have more than a handful of games on a Thursday night. But this time, it’s not because of the threat of inclement weather across the state. It’s Labor Day weekend, and about 30 games were already slotted for Thursday night to accommodate the long holiday weekend.
