The Conference USA Football Championship Game is an annual American football game that has determined the Conference USA's season champion since 2005. The championship game pits the CUSA East Division regular season champion against the West Division regular season champion. It is typically played on the first Saturday of December.

Five of the fourteen current CUSA members have played in the CUSA Football Championship Game. The overall series between both divisions is led by the East Division, 8–4.

While five CUSA members have played in the game, only four have won: Marshall and WKU of the current East Division members, and Southern Miss and Rice of the current West Division members. WKU is the current CUSA champion.

The CUSA Football Championship Game has been aired on ESPN or their affiliates since 2005.

Before 2005, each member of the conference played in a round robin scheduling to determine the champion of the conference. In this time period, Southern Miss won the most with 4 titles. Historically the winner of the C-USA Championship customarily receives a berth to play in the Liberty Bowl against a member of the Southeastern Conference.

The team the with the best overall conference win percentage will be the team that hosts the championship game. Three venues have hosted two title games—Robertson Stadium of Houston, Bright House Networks Stadium of UCF, and Chapman Stadium of Tulsa. Western Kentucky's Houchens Stadium will host for the second time in 2016.
