Davies and West Fargo face off in Division AAA football semifinals

The Fargo Davies Eagles and the West Fargo Packers face off at 6:30 p.m. this Friday, November 6, in the Division AAA football playoff semifinals. The game, hosted at West Fargo High School, is available to viewers via WDAY Xtra or through the WDAY+ digital streaming platform.

The Path to the Semifinals

The matchup represents a critical juncture in the 2026 North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) football postseason. As the state narrows its field, the competition intensifies, with the winner moving one step closer to the championship. According to reports from InForum, the game is presented by Nodak Insurance, highlighting the community backing behind this playoff bracket.

The logistics for fans are straightforward but require digital access for those unable to attend in person. While the game is broadcast on television via WDAY Xtra, the primary digital home for the stream is WDAY+. Accessing this service requires an active subscription, with the provider offering both monthly and annual pass options for those looking to follow the remainder of the season’s on-demand content.

Where the Games Stand Across the State

The Davies-West Fargo game is one of several high-stakes contests unfolding across North Dakota this weekend. The NDHSAA postseason schedule reflects a busy Friday and Saturday, with teams across multiple divisions vying for a spot in the final rounds.

While the Division AAA semifinals feature the Eagles and the Packers, the Bismarck area is hosting its own significant matchup between Bismarck Legacy and Bismarck Century. That game, also scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff at the Bismarck Community Bowl, is being broadcast via the BEK TV network, offering fans in the western part of the state a different viewing avenue compared to the eastern regional coverage.

For those tracking the broader scope of North Dakota prep football, the playoff structure is as follows:

  • Division AAA: Fargo Davies vs. West Fargo (Friday, 6:30 p.m.) and Bismarck Legacy vs. Bismarck Century (Friday, 6:30 p.m.).
  • Division AA: Kindred vs. Dickinson (Friday, 6:00 p.m.) and Minot North vs. Central Cass (Friday, 7:00 p.m.).
  • Division A: Langdon Area/Munich vs. Ray/Powers Lake and Harvey/Wells County vs. Northern Cass (both Saturday, 1:00 p.m.).
  • 9-man: New Rockford-Sheyenne/Maddock vs. Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter and LaMoure-Litchville/Marion vs. Linton/HMB (both Saturday, 1:00 p.m.).

Accessing the Broadcasts

For supporters of the Davies and West Fargo programs, the streaming infrastructure is centralized through the InForum portal. Once a subscription is secured, viewers receive login instructions via email, which enables immediate access to the live feed.

It is worth noting that for other playoff games, such as the 9-man semifinal featuring LaMoure-Litchville/Marion against Linton/HMB, the broadcast rights are handled through the same WDAY+ portal. Conversely, other games—such as the Division AA matchup between Minot North and Central Cass—are managed by independent providers like Your Live Event.

The reliance on these specific digital platforms marks a shift in how local sports are consumed, moving away from traditional over-the-air exclusivity toward tiered, subscription-based streaming models. For the local community, this ensures that even those unable to brave the November weather at West Fargo High School can remain connected to the postseason progression.
