I did the research and this is just the 3rd time in 26 seasons that division rivals have met in a Conference Championship game.

The previous 2 matchups:

2034 Zehlendorf 63 @ Saint Paul 56
2042 Atlanta 16 @ Memphis 7

:both happened in the NXC, so the AXC Conference Championship game between Houston & Pittsburgh will be the 1st of its type in the AXC!!!

XFL XXVI LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP

Atlanta will try to make it 3 straight XFL Titles which has never been accomplished in XFL history. In their way is Pittsburgh, making the francises 1st trip to the XFL Championship game.

Pittsburgh becomes the 1st team besides Buffalo or Dakota to represent the AXC in the Championship game in 10 years. In XFL XVI, Texas defeated Brooklyn 35-21 to become just the 4th AXC team to win a Title joining Dakota (5), Buffalo (4) & Oakland (2).

The AXC has won 12 Championships while the NXC has won 13 Championships. Atlanta (4), Gem City (2), Zehlendorf (2), Vegas (2), Philadelphia (1), Arizona (1) & Carolina (1) are the past NXC Champions.

Atlanta won its 6th NXC Conference Championship which puts them 3rd Alltime behind Dakota (11) & Buffalo (9).

Pittsburgh becomes the 17th francise to win a Conference Championship and just the 6th from the AXC while the NXC has 11 of 16 teams with a Conference Championship.

If Atlanta wins XFL XXVI, not only would they win 3 straight but they would tie Dakota for the most XFL Titles in francise history with 5 XFL Championships.
