Seasons 23 through 32 of the Arena Football League saw the Arizona Rattlers claim three championships, with the Philadelphia Soul adding two championships and the Spokane Shock, Jacksonville Sharks, San Jose SaberCats, Washington Valor and Albany Empire earning one championship each.

The league folded not long after the 2019 season, due to the league filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
