The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Football Championship Game or PSAC Football Championship is a yearly American football championship game between two Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference teams (East and West division) to decide the champions of the PSAC.
The championship games date back to 1960 where West Chester was the first to win, however champions had been selected by sportswriters and the Saylor Point System since 1934. Champions have been decided every year since then, except for three years during World War II when PSAC did not compete.
