The home team is on the right of each matchup, excluding the D6 Championship game played at Cope Stadium in Kearney, which still has the designated "home" team on the right. Due to COVID restrictions that kept the games from being held at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, the finals in Classes A through D2 were played at the home site of the higher seed this year. See below each bracket for the listing of teams. Some designs you see are only worn on one side of a school's helmet, but may be shown here on their "wrong" side for ease of identification.
