==ArenaCup== {{main article|ArenaCup}} The [[ArenaCup]] was the AF2's championship game, held annually in August. For the league's first five years, it was held at the home arena of the higher-seeded remaining team. However, as the old AFL has changed, the AF2 also changed. In the same year that [[ArenaBowl XIX]] was played at a neutral site in [[Las Vegas Valley|Las Vegas]], [[ArenaCup VI]] was the first AF2 championship to be played at a neutral site in [[Bossier City, Louisiana]]. The practice continued the following year when [[ArenaCup VII]] was played in [[JosΓ© Miguel Agrelot Coliseum|Coliseo de Puerto Rico]] in [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]];<ref>{{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=June 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> the title game returned to Bossier City in [[ArenaCup VIII]]. Citing lower attendances at the neutral site ArenaCup games, the league returned to the original arena arrangement for the 2008 season.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.af2.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=3525&ATCLID=1415975&SPID=1590&ISWIDE=1 |title=2008 ArenaCup returns to highest seed format |access-date=2008-03-20 |date=2008-03-20 |work=AF2 }}{{dead link|date=September 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> With the exception of [[ArenaCup V]], all AF2 championships were televised either nationally or locally. The inaugural and second ArenaCups were broadcast on [[TNN Motor Sports/TNN Sports]], which carried AFL games on Sunday afternoons at the time. However, when the AFL broadcast rights were purchased by [[NBC]], the ArenaCup national telecast was lost. The 2002 ArenaCup was televised by the [[Vision Network]], and [[ArenaCup IV]] was televised by [[KWHB]], a local station in [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]]. After having no television coverage in 2004, the national telecasts returned to the airwaves with [[Fox Sports Net]] in 2005 and [[Comcast Sports Net]] in 2006, 2007, and 2008. ArenaCup IX, as well as the season in its entirety, was broadcast online via NiFTy TV.<ref>[http://www.niftytv.com/news.php?article=64 "arenafootball2 Fans Can Watch Their Home Team Score With NFT's Online Broadcasting Technology"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304180403/http://niftytv.com/news.php?article=64|date=2016-03-04}}, ''[[NiFTy Online Television]]'', 2008-03-25.</ref>
