TheXFL championship game, played first in 2023, decided the league champion of theXFL at the end of its season. After the 2024 merger of the XFL and the USFL into theUnited Football League (UFL), with the XFL becoming the XFL Conference of the UFL, the game became theXFL Conference championship.
The XFL championship was awarded to one of the league's home stadiums several months in advance,[1] following the lead of other professional championships such as theSuper Bowl andGrey Cup; the UFL has continued that strategy,[2] as opposed to its merger partner theUSFL, which held its playoffs at a neutral site. As a conference championship, the game is held at the home stadium of the team with the best regular season record in the XFL Conference.
