The 2024 UFL Championship Game will be an American football game to play on June 16, 2024, at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The contest will determine the champion of the 2024 UFL season and will be played between the USFL Conference title winners and the XFL Conference title winners. The game will begin at 5:00 p.m. EDT and will air on Fox.[1]
Background[edit]
The Championship Game will be the first UFL Championship Game following the merger of the XFL and the USFL. Before the merger, the USFL had two championship games, in 2022 and 2023, where the Birmingham Stallions defeated the Philadelphia Stars and the Pittsburgh Maulers in back-to-back seasons. The XFL held one championship game in 2023 when the Arlington Renegades defeated the DC Defenders. The two leagues merged before the 2024 season of either league began.
Host selection[edit]
On March 14, 2024, The Dome at America's Center was selected as host for the first UFL championship.[2] When discussing the selection, UFL President and CEO Russ Brandon said, "selecting the championship game location is more than just the stadium, but the community and the fanbase that surrounds it. This is why we are proud to bring our Championship to St. Louis – a city that has loved and embraced spring football from the start."[2] St. Louis set the XFL's five highest league attendance records in 2023.[2]
Of those known to have submitted competing bids, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, host of the 2022 and 2023 USFL Championship Games, was known to have made an "aggressive" bid.[3]
