{{Short description|Af2 Championship League}}
{{Refimprove|date=April 2007}}
The '''ArenaCup''' was the [af2](/source/af2)'s championship game. For the league's first five years, it was held at the arena of the higher seeded team. However, the 2005 ArenaCup was the first to be played at a neutral site in [Bossier City](/source/Bossier_City), [Louisiana](/source/Louisiana). The 2006 ArenaCup was played in [Coliseo de Puerto Rico](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Miguel_Agrelot_Coliseum) in [San Juan](/source/San_Juan%2C_Puerto_Rico).[{{cite web|url=http://www.af2.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3525&ATCLID=510967&SPID=1590&ISWIDE=1 |title=2006 ArenaCup to be played in Puerto Rico |access-date=2007-03-26 |date=2006-07-21 |work=Af2 }}{{dead link|date=October 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}] On August 25, 2007, ArenaCup 8 returned to Bossier City, LA.[{{cite web|url=http://www.af2.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3525&ATCLID=870018&ISWIDE=1&KEY=&DB_OEM_ID=3525&DB_LANG=&IN_SUBSCRIBER_CONTENT= |title=2007 ArenaCup returns to Bossier-Shreveport |access-date=2007-06-10 |date=2007-04-19 |work=Af2 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090123021024/http://www.af2.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3525&ATCLID=870018&ISWIDE=1&KEY=&DB_OEM_ID=3525&DB_LANG=&IN_SUBSCRIBER_CONTENT= |archive-date=2009-01-23 }}] ArenaCup 9 was played at the arena of the higher seeded team, the Spokane Shock. ArenaCup 10 was held at the Orleans Arena in [Paradise, Nevada](/source/Paradise%2C_Nevada).
For the 2000 and 2001 ArenaCups, the game was televised nationally by TNN (now [Paramount Network](/source/Paramount_Network)), who carried AFL games at the time. However, when the AFL announced their televised games would be shown on [NBC](/source/NBC) rather than TNN, the ArenaCup telecast was lost. The 2002 ArenaCup was televised by the Vision Network, and the 2003 game was televised by [KWHB](/source/KWHB), a local station in [Tulsa](/source/Tulsa), [Oklahoma](/source/Oklahoma). After having no television coverage in 2004, the game was telecast nationally by [Fox Sports Net](/source/Fox_Sports_Net) in 2005 and [Comcast Sports Net](/source/Comcast_Sports_Net) in 2006.
The ArenaCup, along with all assets of af2, were purchased by Arena Football 1 (which became the second incarnation of the [Arena Football League](/source/Arena_Football_League_(2010))) in December 2009. Because that league uses the [ArenaBowl](/source/ArenaBowl) as its championship, the ArenaCup was retired.
