The Britbowl is the championship game of the British American Football National League, and formerly the British American Football League (BAFL) in the United Kingdom. It is the most prestigious of the league's three bowl games that constitute Britbowl Weekend. Only teams in the Premier Division of BAFL are eligible to compete in Britbowl. To progress to a Britbowl the winner of the seasonal BAFA Premier Division South will play the Runner up of the Premier North and vice versa in a semi-finals with the two winners eventually meeting in a final. Teams who play in the second and third levels compete for promotion in their own Championship Bowl games

To mark its 20th anniversary, Roman numerals were introduced to identify the game. The 2006 Championship became known as Britbowl XX. The previous nineteen bowl games were redesignated as Britbowl I to Britbowl XIX respectively.

Since Britbowl XX the winning team has been presented with the Boston Trophy. The current champions are the Manchester Titans, who defeated the London Warriors 44–27 in Britbowl XXXV on 17 September 2023.
