The 2016 United Bowl was the championship game of the 2016 Indoor Football League season.

The game was played at Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

In 2016, the Storm began the regular season with four straight wins before their first road-bump in a loss to the Cedar Rapids Titans.

They rebounded from that loss with eleven consecutive victories to finish the season with a 15–1 record, and first place in the United Conference.

Sioux Falls clinched home field advantage and a first round bye due to their conference finish.
