The NFC Championship Game is the annual American football game that determines the champion of the Northern Football Conference (NFC). The contest is held in the city of the home team, which is determined by the Regular Season Record. The top team in the NFC receives the home-field advantage.

The Portland Pythons (11–9) have a record nineteen wins and 32 appearances in the NFC Championship Game. Portland also holds the record of 5 consecutive championships (from 2029 (S14) to 2033 (S18)). The Kansas City Coyotes (13–15) are second in wins and appearances. The Minnesota Grey Ducks (9-10) have 9 wins and the London Royals (5-7) have 5 wins. The Norfolk Seawolves (0-3) made the NFC Championship game three times but failed to win before moving to the SFC in 2035 (S20). The San Antonio Marshals appeared in the first two NFC championship games (their only appearances) before switching to the SFC and finally becoming the Grey Ducks in 2034 (S19).
