The Ultimus Bowl is the annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). The game culminates a season that begins in the previous calendar year and is the conclusion of the NSFL playoffs. The contest is held in the city of the home team. Since January 2016, the winner of the American Simulation Football Conference (ASFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the National Simulation Football Conference (NSFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NSFL playoffs.
The ASFC leads in Ultimus Bowl wins with 11, while the NSFC has won 4. Seven franchises have won the Ultimus Bowl, with the Colorado Yeti the lone remaining NSFL team without a championship win.
The Orange County Otters (6-1) have won the most Ultimus Bowls with six championships, while the Arizona Outlaws (4-0) are the second most successful with four. New Orleans Second Line (2-2) and Baltimore Hawks (2-6) each have two wins, while Philadelphia Liberty (1–2), the Yellowknife Wraiths (1–2), and the San Jose Sabercats (1-1) each have one win. Baltimore have the most Ultimus Bowl appearances with seven, Orange County and New Orleans also has the most consecutive appearances with four from 2019 to 2022 and 2023 to 2026 and 2024–2026 respectively. The Arizona Outlaws and Baltimore Hawks are the only other team to have at least three consecutive appearances: 2016–2018. The Baltimore Hawks have lost a record five Ultimus Bowls. The Second line and Wraiths and Liberty and Yeti have lost two, while the Sabercats have lost one. The record for consecutive wins is three and is shared by two franchises: the Arizona Outlaws (2016–2018), and the Orange County Otters (2019–2021). The only team with multiple Ultimus Bowl appearances and no losses is the Arizona Outlaws. Only one team (Liberty, Ultimus Bowl VII) has claimed the championship by winning an Ultimus Bowl as the away team. Only one Ultimus Bowl as gone to overtime; Ultimus Bowl XI, between New Orleans and Baltimore.
