The Ultimus Bowl is the annual American football game that determines the champion of the International Simulation Football League (ISFL). The game culminates a season that begins in the previous calendar year and is the conclusion of the ISFL 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 ISFL playoffs.

The ASFC leads in Ultimus Bowl wins with 21, while the NSFC has won 10. Twelve franchises have won the Ultimus Bowl, with the Chicago Butchers and Berlin Fire Salamanders as the lone remaining ISFL teams without a championship win. The Chicago Butchers joined the ISFL in 2031 (S16) and the Berlin Fire Salamanders joined the ISFL in 2040 (S25). The Honolulu Hahalua are the most recent winners of the Ultimus.

The Orange County Otters (8-2) have won the most Ultimus Bowls with eight championships, while the Arizona Outlaws (4-1) and Yellowknife Wraiths (4-6) are the second most successful with four. New Orleans Second Line (3-4) and San Jose Sabercats (3-1) have three wins, the Baltimore Hawks (2-6) and Sarasota Sailfish (2-0) have two wins, while Philadelphia Liberty (1–3), Austin Copperheads (1-2), Colorado Yeti (1–5), New York Silverbacks (1-0) each have one win. Orange County and Yellowknife have the most Ultimus Bowl appearances with ten. Orange County, Baltimore, Yellowknife and New Orleans have the most consecutive appearances with four. The Baltimore Hawks and Yellowknife Wraiths have each lost a record six Ultimus Bowls. The record for consecutive wins is three and is shared by two franchises: the Arizona Outlaws (Ultimus Bowl I–III), and the Orange County Otters (Ultimus Bowl IV–VI and Ultimus Bowl XVII–XIX). The only team with multiple Ultimus Bowl appearances and no losses is the Sarasota Sailfish. Just eight times in history, the Liberty, (Ultimus Bowl VII), the Copperheads (Ultimus Bowl XX), the Yeti (Ultimus Bowl XXII), the Otters (Ultimus Bowl XVII, Ultimus Bowl XVIII, and Ultimus Bowl XIX), and the Sabercats (Ultimus Bowl XXIV-XXV) has a team claimed the championship by winning the Ultimus Bowl on the road. Only one Ultimus Bowl has gone to overtime; Ultimus Bowl XI, between New Orleans and Baltimore.

Starting in Season 29, the host city for the Ultimus was left up to community choice. The season 29 Ultimus was held at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The Season 30 Ultimus was held at the ISFL International Stadium in El Paso,Texas. The latest Ultimus Bowl, Season 31 Ultimus was held at the Kai Tak Sports Park in Kowloon, Hongkong
