The MAC Championship Game is a football game between the winners of the East and West divisions of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) to determine the conference champion. The game has been played since 1997, when the conference was first divided into divisions. The winner of the game is guaranteed a berth in a bowl game which the MAC has contractual obligations to field a team. Since 2004, the championship game is played at Ford Field in Detroit. Previously the game was held at campus sites.

In 2007, due to an unbalanced conference schedule, the team with best division record within each division was awarded that division's championship game berth. The only other year this was done was in 2000. In other years, the teams with the best overall conference records received a berth.
