In the 1956 NFL Championship Game was the league's 24th championship game, played at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx in New York City on December 30. The New York Giants (8–3–1) won the Eastern Conference title and hosted the Chicago Bears (9–2–1), the Western Conference champions. The teams had met in the regular season five weeks earlier on November 25 at Yankee Stadium and played to a 17–17 tie; the Bears entered the championship game in late December as slight favorites. The Giants hosted because the home field for the title game alternated between the conferences; home field advantage was not implemented until 1975.

  • La finale del campionato NFL 1956 è stata la 24ª del campionato della NFL. La gara si tenne il 30 dicembre 1956 allo Yankee Stadium di New York tra New York Giants e Chicago Bears. La gara si tenne su un campo ghiacciato. Per tale motivo, i Giants optarono per indossare scarpe da ginnastica al posto delle tradizionali scarpe da football, fattore che diede un vantaggio decisivo ai padroni di casa. Ventidue anni prima, in un Polo Grounds ugualmente congelato, i Giants avevano utilizzato la stessa tattica per vincere il titolo del 1934 nella partita passata alla storia come "Sneakers Game". Questo fu l'ultimo titolo per la franchigia dei Giants per trent'anni. (it)
