The MAC Football Championship Game is an annual postseason college football game played to determine the champion of the Mid-American Conference (MAC).

History

The game has been played since 1997, when the conference was first divided into divisions. For the 2024 season the MAC eliminated divisions and the game now features the teams with the best conference records.^[1] A new tiebreaker system was established to compare teams with the same conference record.^[2] The winner of the game is guaranteed a berth in a bowl game which the MAC has contractual obligations to field a team. Unlike the MAC's Group of Five contemporaries, which hold their respective championship games on campus sites, the MAC Championship Game is held at a neutral site. Ford Field in Detroit has been the venue since 2004 and is scheduled to host through at least 2025.^[3]^[4]

In 2000, 2001, and 2007, due to an unbalanced conference schedule, the team with best division record within each division was awarded that division's championship game berth. In other years, the teams with the best overall conference records received a berth. Starting in 2024 the MAC will eliminate divisions and include the two teams with the best overall conference records.^[5]

The game is held on the first Saturday in December, on the same weekend that other NCAA Division I FBS conferences hold their championship games.
