The football championship game is held on the first weekend of December. Through the 2023 season, it pitted the East Division and West Division champions. The divisional alignment was scrapped after the 2023 season; since then, championship games have featured the top two teams in the conference standings (with tiebreakers employed as needed). From its inception in 1997 to 2003, it was held at the home field of the division champion with the best conference record (also with tiebreakers as needed). Since the 2004 edition, it has been held at Ford Field in Detroit .

Softball
The softball tournament is held in May to determine the winner of the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. It has been held at various sites throughout the years. In 2008 the tournament returned to Firestone Stadium in Akron, Ohio where it was played from 2002 to 2005 after being played in 2006 and 2007 at Currie Stadium in Midland, Michigan . The first tournament was held in 1982 and the MAC added conference regular season play in 1983. From 1986 through 1995 the MAC did not have a conference tournament; the regular-season champion was awarded the league's bid to the NCAA tournament. In 1996 the tournament returned, but the championship game had to be suspended due to weather and once again the regular season champion won the automatic NCAA bid.[ 341]

By that time, Ball State and Miami were the only full MAC members to sponsor men's swimming & diving; the remaining five teams that competed in the MAC were full MVC members.[ 376]
