The Northern Ohio Conference is a high school athletic conference in north central Ohio. It is set to begin play in the 2026-27 school year.

Formation

In January 2025, it was reported that the school boards at ten of the Lake and Bay division schools of the Sandusky Bay Conference were considering withdrawing from the SBC to form a new league. ^[1] Sandusky's school board was the first to approve the move on February 11. School administrators cited difficulty in making changes due to a voting block of the River division schools (13 votes to 10) as one reason for the move.^[2] On May 7, these schools announced they would begin play in the 2026-2027 school year as the Northern Ohio Conference.^[3]
