| EAST LANSING, Mich. – Oct. 27 – The pairings have been announced for the 2024 State of Michigan MHSAA Football Playoffs, which begin Nov. 1-2 with District Semifinals in the 11-Player Playoffs and Regional Semifinals in the 8-Player Playoffs. Teams were divided into divisions before the start of play this fall. The top 32 teams in each division in 11-player and the top 16 per division in 8-player, based on playoff-point average, were selected to the field. For 11-player qualifiers, qualifiers were then divided into four regions with eight teams apiece, and for 8-player qualifiers, qualifiers were divided into four regions with four teams in each. Pairings for the first three weeks of the tournament are based on regular-season playoff point averages, with the highest-ranked team hosting, regardless of the distance between the two schools. For 11-player District Semifinal and 8-player Regional Semifinal play, the top-seeded team in each bracket will host the fourth-seeded team, and the second-seeded team will host the third-seeded team. District Finals for 11-player and Regional Finals for 8-player will follow during the weekend of Nov. 8-9, and the weekend of Nov. 15-16 will have Regional Finals in the 11-Player Playoffs and Semifinals in the 8-Player Playoffs. The 8-Player Semifinals will pair the winners of Region 1 vs. Region 2 and the winners of Region 3 vs. Region 4, at the sites of the highest-ranked team. Semifinal games in the 11-Player Playoffs will take place Nov. 22-23, pairing the winners of Region 1 vs. Region 2 and the winners of Region 3 vs. Region 4. The MHSAA will assign 11-player Semifinals at neutral sites. All playoff tickets except for Finals (both 11 and 8-player) will be sold online only via GoFan at gofan.com/. For 11-Player, tickets to District Semifinals and District Finals cost $7, tickets to Regional Finals are $9, and tickets to Semifinals cost $10. For 8 players, tickets for Regional Semifinals are $7, tickets for Regional Finals are $9, and tickets for Semifinals cost $10. The 8-Player Finals will take place Nov. 23 at Northern Michigan University’s Superior Dome in Marquette, and the 11-Player Finals will be played Nov. 29-30 at Ford Field in Detroit. An all-day ticket for the 8-player Finals costs $10 and includes admission to both games, and an all-day ticket for the 11-player Finals costs $20 and includes admission to that day’s four games. There is one switch of note this season regarding the schedule for the 11-player Finals weekend. The first games on both days will kick off at 9:30 a.m., with the final games on both days tentatively scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. The 11-player Finals schedule will be as follows: Friday, Nov.
