USFL championship game
American football championship game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The USFL championship game was the annual championship game for the United States Football League that was played from 2022 to 2023. Held at the end of each season to determine its league winner for that season, both USFL championship games took place during the first week of July at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.[1] Its modern successor is the USFL Conference championship, a playoff game in the United Football League (UFL); winners of the USFL Conference Championship advanced to the UFL championship game.[2]
The final USFL conference champions as of 2025 are the Michigan Panthers. The Birmingham Stallions have the most championships, with three. The USFL conference was dissolved October 7, 2025, along with the Panthers.[3]
