The championship game in each of the five NHIAA divisions will no longer be played at the home of the higher-seeded team. This year all five title games will be held at a neutral site, with the following exception: If both teams that reach the championship game play their home games on a turf field (Bishop Guertin and Exeter for example) then the game will be played at the higher-seeded team's home field.

Semifinal games will still be played at the home of the higher-seeded team. Here's this year's playoff schedule:

Division I

Semifinals: Nov. 10 at the higher-seeded team (1 p.m.)
Championship: Nov. 17 at Stellos Stadium (1 p.m.)

Division II

Semifinals: Nov. 10 at the higher-seeded team (1 p.m.)
Championship: Nov. 17 at William Ball Stadium (1 p.m.)

Division III

Semifinals: Nov. 3 at the higher-seeded team (1 p.m.)
Championship: Nov. 11 at William Ball Stadium (1 p.m.)

Division IV

Semifinals: Nov. 3 at the higher-seeded team (1 p.m.)
Championship: Nov. 10 at Hanover High School (1 p.m.)

Division V

Semifinals: Nov. 10 at the higher-seeded team (1 p.m.)
