For the 2024 season the MAC eliminated divisions and the game now features the teams with the best conference records.

Unlike the MAC's Group of Five contemporaries, which hold their respective championship games on campus sites, the MAC Championship Game is held at a neutral site.

Starting in 2024 the MAC will eliminate divisions and include the two teams with the best overall conference records.

Eastern Michigan and UMass are the only teams currently in the conference to have not qualified for a Championship Game.

Temple and UCF were previously in the conference during this era and never reached the championship game; UMass will return to the MAC in 2025.
