2023 Playoffs

The home team is on the right of each matchup, excluding the Championship games played at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln (A through D2) and Cope Stadium in Kearney (D6), which still have the designated "home" team on the right. 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.
