division championship

Sectional title game

A division championship is the title won by the team that finishes first in its division within a sports league.

Most professional leagues divide teams into divisions based on geography or other factors, and winning the division typically secures a playoff berth and home-field advantage.

The team clinched the division championship with two games remaining in the season.

Division championships are stepping stones toward conference or league titles but are celebrated accomplishments in their own right.
