Below is a list of Massachusetts state and regional high school football champions sanctioned by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association since the organization began holding state championship games in 1972. From 1972 to 2012, only regional champions were crowned. Starting in 2013, a new format was implemented to crown a true state champion in six statewide divisions. The number of divisions expanded to eight in 2016, which has remained in place since.
