List of ASFC Championship winners
The ASFC Championship Game is the annual American football game that determines the champion of the American Simulation Football Conference (ASFC). The contest is held in the city of the home team, which is determined by the Regular Season Record. The top team in ASFC receives home-field advantage, although in season 26 there was an unprecedented occurrence. The second seeded New Orleans Second Line were given home field against the top seed New York Silverbacks in the conference championship game. Analysts to this day are baffled about why that happened.
The Orange County Otters appeared in the first 19 ASFC championship games. The New Orleans Second Line (6–2) have six wins. The Arizona Outlaws (4–5) and San Jose Sabercats (4–3) have four ASFC Championship wins. The Austin Copperheads (2-1) have won two of their three appearances. Both Orange County (from 2019 to 2022) and New Orleans Second Line (from 2023 to 2026) hold the record with 4 consecutive championships. The newest expansion team, the New York Silverbacks have one appearance. The Honolulu Hahalua have yet to make an appearance.
