Both teams were the fourth seed in their respective conferences to begin the playoffs.

The Sioux Falls Stampede won the Western Conference by earning a 3-1 conference final series win over the Tri-City Storm after defeating the Sioux City Musketeers 3-1 to begin their playoff run.
It is the first-ever trip to the Clark Cup Final for the Muskegon Lumberjacks who joined the USHL prior to the 2010-11 season. The Sioux Falls Stampede have been to the championship series twice (2006, 2007), including winning their first-ever Clark Cup title in 2007.
