BFL Championship Game

2015-2027

London hosted in 2015 as Wembley Stadium is the largest BFL stadium, and then hosted up until 2027 by each team on a rotation basis between North and South Divisions.

In 2024, the game will be rebranded as the BFL Bowl with X as its 10th Anniversary game, hosted by London to celebrate 10 seasons.

2028-

North Division teams host in even numbered years and South Division teams in odd-numbered yeares. As this is the fairest way to ensure home field advantage is achieved instead of the other proposal in which the Division Champions would be the host instead in which the division champion might not be playing in the Championship.
