AFC Championship game - wikipedia AFC Championship game AFC Championship Game AFC Championship logo First played 1971 ( 1970 season ) Trophy Lamar Hunt Recent and upcoming games 2017 season Gillette Stadium January 21, 2018 Jacksonville Jaguars 20, New England Patriots 24 The AFC Championship Game is one of the two semi-final playoff games of the National Football League ( NFL ), the largest professional American football league in the United States. The game is played on the penultimate Sunday in January and determines the champion of the American Football Conference ( AFC ). The winner then advances to face the winner of the National Football Conference ( NFC ) Championship Game in the Super Bowl. The game was established as part of the 1970 merger between the NFL and the American Football League ( AFL ), with the merged league realigning into two conferences. Since 1984, each winner of the AFC Championship Game has also received the Lamar Hunt Trophy, named after the founder of the AFL and longtime owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, Lamar Hunt. Contents 1 History 2 Playoff structure 3 Lamar Hunt Trophy 4 List of AFC Championship Games 5 Appearances 1970 -- present 6 Records 7 TV ratings 8 Footnotes 9 References History The first AFC Championship Game was played following the 1970 regular season after the merger between the NFL and the American Football League. The game is considered the successor to the former AFL Championship, and its game results are listed with that of its predecessor in the annual NFL Record and Fact Book. Since the pre-merger NFL consisted of six more teams than the AFL, a realignment was required as part of the merger to create two conferences with an equal number of teams : The NFL 's Baltimore Colts, the Cleveland Browns, and the Pittsburgh Steelers joined the ten former AFL teams to form the AFC ; while the remaining 13 pre-merger NFL clubs formed the NFC. Every AFC team except the Houston Texans has played in an AFC Championship Game at least once. The Seattle Seahawks, who have been members in both the AFC and the NFC, hold the distinction of appearing in both conference title games, a loss in the AFC conference title game to the Los Angeles Raiders for Super Bowl XVIII and, in their first appearance in a NFC conference title game, a win over the Carolina Panthers for Super Bowl XL. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most appearances in the AFC Championship Game at 16, with 11 of those games being in Pittsburgh, the most for either conference. The most AFC Conference Championships have been won by the New England Patriots winning 10 of them and going to 7 straight ( 2011 - present ). Playoff structure Further information : NFL playoffs Lamar Hunt Trophy At the end of each regular season, a series of playoff games involving the top six teams in the AFC are conducted. In the current ( since 2002 -- 03 season ) NFL playoff structure, this consists of the four division champions and two wild card teams ( those clubs that possess the two best won - loss records after the regular season yet fail to win their division ). The two teams remaining following the Wild Card round ( first round ) and the divisional round ( second round ) play in the AFC Championship game. Initially, the site of the game was determined on a rotating basis. Since the 1975 -- 76 season, the site of the AFC Championship has been based on playoff seeding based on the regular season won - loss record, with the highest surviving seed hosting the game. A wild card team can only host the game if both participants are wild cards, in which case the fifth seed would host the sixth seed. Such an instance has never occurred in the NFL. Lamar Hunt Trophy Beginning with 1984 -- 85 season, the winner of the AFC Championship Game has received the Lamar Hunt Trophy, named after the founder of the AFL. The original design consisted of a wooden base with a sculpted AFC logo in the front and a sculpture of various football players in the back. For the 2010 -- 11 NFL playoffs, the Lamar Hunt Trophy and the George Halas Trophy, which is awarded to the NFC Champion, were redesigned by Tiffany & Co. at the request of the NFL, in an attempt to make both awards more significant. The trophies are now a new, silver design with the outline of a hollow football positioned on a small base to more closely resemble the Vince Lombardi Trophy, which is awarded to the winner of the Super Bowl.
