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

The Bondi Beach Buccaneers (7–6) have seven wins (won twice as the Palm Beach Solar Bears and a loss as the Chicago Blues) and the San Antonio Marshals (3–9) had three SFC Championship wins before leaving the conference and rebranding as the Minnesota Grey Ducks. The Dallas Birddogs (3-6) have 3 wins in 9 appearances and have gone on to win the Ultimini on each occasion. The Portland Pythons (1-0) won their only appearance.
Tijuana currently holds the record with 5 consecutive championships (from 2022 (S7) to 2026 (S11)).
