The following classification is based on ''[[Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes]]'' (2025):<ref name = CofFF>{{Cof family | family = Percidae | access-date = 11 September 2020}}</ref>

* Subfamily [[Luciopercinae]] <small>[[David Starr Jordan|Jordan]] & [[Barton Warren Evermann|Evermann]], 1896</small>
** Tribe [[Luciopercini]] <small>Jordan & Evermann 1896</small>
*** Genus ''[[Sander (fish)|Sander]]'' <small>[[Lorenz Oken|Oken]], 1817</small>
*** Genus †''[[Leobergia]]'' <small>Schtylko, 1934</small> ([[Neogene]] of eastern Europe)<ref name=":1" />

Under a former treatment by the 5th Edition of ''[[Fishes of the World]]'', ''Gymnocephalus'' was placed in its own subfamily, [[Acerinae]], as was ''Percarina'' in [[Percarininae]].<ref name="Nelson5" /><ref name="Fishbase" />

Although the family likely underwent an evolutionary radiation during the [[Paleogene]], the earliest definitive fossil remains of percids are of modern ''[[Sander (fish)|Sander]]'' from the [[Middle Miocene]] of Canada. †''[[Vixperca]]'' <small>Peña Zarzuelo, 1991</small> from the [[Eocene|Middle Eocene]] of Spain has been suggested to be the earliest known percid, but its remains are fragmentary and show closer similarities to [[Latidae|lates perches]] than to true perches.<ref name=":1" />
