How did they get there?

The St. Louis Battlehawks and San Antonio Brahmas clinched two available playoff spots for the XFL Conference Championship. Both finished the 2024 UFL regular season with an overall record of 7-3.

St. Louis earned the right to host the matchup by defeating San Antonio in a 13-12 nailbiter last weekend, pushing them ahead in one key tiebreaker. The victory gave the Battlehawks a 2-0 head-to-head record against the Brahmas, the only tiebreaker needed to decide the top seed.
