NFC Championship Game
# NFC Championship Game

Das NFC Championship Game ist eines der beiden Halbfinals der National Football League (NFL). Teilnehmende Mannschaften sind die Sieger der Divisional Play-offs der National Football Conference (NFC). Der Gewinner bekommt die George Halas Trophy und tritt beim Super Bowl gegen den Gewinner des AFC Championship Games an.

Amtierender Meister der NFC sind die Philadelphia Eagles (Saison 2022), die die San Francisco 49ers im NFC Championship Game mit 31:7 bezwangen.

Bis 1970 hieß das NFC Championship Game NFL Championship Game. AFL und NFL gingen bis zu diesem Jahr getrennte Wege und spielten getrennt ihre Meisterschaften aus. Erst mit dem Zusammenschluss der AFL und NFL (unter gleichzeitiger Umbenennung in AFC und NFC) wurde das Spiel zum NFC Championship Game.
