A rematch of the 2021 United Bowl three years prior, the Western Conference champion Arizona Rattlers defeated the Eastern Conference champion Massachusetts Pirates 53–16, securing their first championship since the 2017 United Bowl, second in the IFL, and seventh overall as a franchise.

[4] After the Rattlers won the coin toss and deferred possession to the second half, the Pirates received the opening kickoff, which was muffed by Jimmie Robinson before he was tackled by Omari Alexander in the end zone for a 1-point rouge to give the Rattlers an early 1–0 lead.

The Pirates would attempt a 32-yard field goal on the following possession, failing to convert, giving the Rattlers the ball at their 15-yard line.

To start the second quarter, the Rattlers would push the ball downfield with their 6-play drive ending in a 6-yard rushing touchdown by Brooks.

Four plays later, Pirates' quarterback Alejandro Bennifield threw an interception to Davontae Merriweather to set the Rattlers up at their 7-yard line.
