The Polish Bowl (formerly known as the SuperFinał) is the championship game of the Polish Football League (PFL). The first Polish Bowl played on November 12, 2006 in Warsaw at the Marymont stadium between top two teams in regular season. Since 2007 in the Polish Bowl game is played between Semi-Final winners.
As the Super Bowl, the Polish Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Polish Bowl I was played in 2006, while Polish Bowl VII played on July 15, 2012, to determine the champion of the 2012 regular season.
Since 2011 (Polish Bowl VI), official name of the Polish Bowl is SuperFinał, formerly the PLFA Finał.
After 2017 some teams separated from PLFA into newly formed league Liga Futbolu Amerykańskiego, so in 2018 both competitions held finals, referred as Polish Bowl XIII. In 2019 the PLFA ended after the regular season and the planned post-season including Polish Bowl was not held. The PLFA dissolved after the season.
In 2020 the LFA final was postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, played in November behind closed doors. In 2021 7 former PLFA and LFA teams merged under the newly formed Polish football association ZFAP.
