The at-large bids and seeding for each team in the tournament were announced on March 21, 2021.{{cite news|url=https://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/article/2021-03-21/2021-ncaa-division-i-mens-ice-hockey-championship-selections-announced|title=2021 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey championship selections announced |publisher=NCAA.com|date=March 21, 2021|access-date=March 18, 2021}}

Typically, teams are seeded according to their PairWise rankings (PWR); however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing a severe lack of inter-conference games among the league, using the PWR would not be a reliable representation of overall NCAA standings. As a result, the NCAA Selection Committee awarded seeds manually based on varying factors, including perceived strength of conference and performance against the best teams in conference. Once seeds were determined, matchups were adjusted to prevent teams from the same conference meeting in the first round, as well as minimize the amount of traveling required due to the pandemic.

The NCHC and Big Ten each had four teams receive a berth in the tournament, Hockey East and WCHA each had three teams receive a berth, and one team from Atlantic Hockey and the ECAC each received a berth.

ECAC Tournament champions St. Lawrence earned an autobid but were forced to withdraw from the tournament as a result of a positive COVID-19 test among the team's coaching staff.{{Cite web|title=St. Lawrence Withdraws From NCAAs Over Positive COVID-19 Test|url=https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2021/03/21_St-Lawrence-Withdraws-From.php|access-date=2021-03-22|website=College Hockey News}} Quinnipiac was selected to replace St. Lawrence as ECAC's autobid.{{Cite web|title=2021 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey championship selections announced|url=https://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-men/article/2021-03-21/2021-ncaa-division-i-mens-ice-hockey-championship-selections-announced|access-date=2021-03-22|website=www.ncaa.com|language=en}}

On March 25, it was announced that Notre Dame would be forced to withdraw from the tournament due to COVID protocols.{{Cite web|title=BC advances in NCAA men's hockey tournament as Notre Dame has to forfeit Saturday's game - The Boston Globe|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/03/25/sports/bc-advances-ncaa-mens-hockey-tournament-notre-dame-has-forfeit-saturdays-game/|access-date=2021-03-25|website=BostonGlobe.com|language=en-US}} As a result, their matchup with Boston College was ruled a no-contest and the Eagles automatically advanced to the Northeast Regional Final. Similarly, on March 26, the NCAA announced Michigan was forced to withdraw as well due to COVID protocols.{{Cite web|last1=Paul|first1=Tony|last2=Bianchi|first2=Nolan|title=UM hockey forced out of NCAA Tournament because of positive tests|url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2021/03/26/um-hockey-forced-out-ncaa-tournament-because-positive-tests/7014960002/|access-date=2021-03-27|website=The Detroit News}} As a result, Minnesota–Duluth automatically advanced to the Midwest Regional Final.
