The 1962 National Football League championship game was the 30th NFL title game. The game was played on December 30, 1962 at Yankee Stadium in New York, New York. The attendance for the game was 64,892.

The 1962 game was a rematch of the 1961 championship. The Eastern Conference champions New York Giants (12-2) against the Western Conference Green Bay Packers (13-1). It was played in 13 degree temperatures with 40 miles per hour winds.

A few hours after this game, Packers linebacker Ray Nitschke, who was the game's Most Valuable Player, appeared on TV's "What's My Line?" wearing thick eyeglasses. Panelists Martin Gabel and Bennett Cerf, both Giants fans, recognized him. Ed Sabol's film company Blair Motion Pictures paid $3,000 for the film rights for the game, the company would later become NFL Films.

1 – From 1966 to 1969, the first four Super Bowls were "World Championship" games played between two independent professional football leagues, AFL and NFL, and when the league merged in 1970 the Super Bowl became the NFL Championship Game.
2 – Dates in the list denote the season, not the calendar year in which the championship game was played. For instance, Super Bowl XLI was played in 2007, but was the championship for the 2006 season.
