High seeds will serve as designated home teams for football’s championship games

With all classifications set to play their championship games at a neutral site this fall, higher seeds will be the designated home teams.

In a typical year, there is a formula which determines teams that will host games and serve at designated home teams at neutral sites. But that has changed this year because all title games will be played at CSU Pueblo’s ThunderBowl Stadium.

“It’s great to be in the final stretch of this fall season of football, talking about logistics of championship weekend,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Adam Bright, who oversees football. “14 great teams will take the field for championship weekend and CHSAA will conclude Season A of the 2020-2021 calendar by crowning seven more state champions.

“It will be a weekend of great competition, sportsmanship, and celebration that is sure to create lifelong memories for these teams, schools, and communities.”

The schedule for Championship Weekend is as follows:

Thursday:

• 6-man, 2 p.m.
• 8-man, 6 p.m.

Friday:

• 2A, 2 p.m.
• 4A, 6 p.m.

Saturday:

• 1A, 10 a.m.
• 3A, 2 p.m.
• 5A, 6 p.m.

All games will be streamed live on the NFHS Network, and CHSAANow.com will provide live coverage each day.
