ESPN Reveals 33-Game College Football Bowl Season Slate for 2025-26

ESPN has unveiled the complete 33-game schedule for the 2025-26 college football Bowl Season, featuring a comprehensive lineup of games on ABC and ESPN. The postseason slate, including 17 ESPN Events' owned-and-operated bowls, starts Saturday, Dec. 13, and runs through Friday, Jan. 2.

ESPN's award-winning college football coverage kicks off Bowl Season on ABC with the 10th edition of the Cricket Celebration Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 13 at noon ET from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Additional ABC highlights include the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl set for Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 27 at noon, followed by a pair of Sunshine State showcases with the Pop-Tarts Bowl at 3:30 p.m. from Orlando's Camping World Stadium and the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl at 7:30 p.m. slated for EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville. ABC will also air the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 31 at 3 p.m., returning to Camping World Stadium.

ESPN will deliver much of the Bowl Season action, beginning with the LA Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 9 p.m. from SoFi Stadium. ESPN will feature a full slate of games throughout the month of December, including the IS4S Salute to Veterans Bowl, StaffDNA Cure Bowl, 68 Ventures Bowl, and Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. Holiday week highlights include the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl on Dec. 24, the SERVPRO First Responder Bowl on Dec. 26, and the 20th editions of the Kinder's Texas Bowl and Isleta New Mexico Bowl, both on Dec. 27. The Go Bowling Military Bowl kicks off the postseason play on the 27th at 11 a.m. from Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md.

Post-Christmas action continues with the Birmingham Bowl, Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, Music City Bowl, and Valero Alamo Bowl, which delivered its highest audience on record last year with eight million viewers. New Year's Eve celebrates with the ReliaQuest Bowl from Tampa at noon, and the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl at 3:30 p.m. Bowl Season closes out ESPN action with the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, the AutoZone Liberty Bowl and the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Friday, Jan. 2.

ESPN is coming off its most-watched Bowl Season since the 2019-20 campaign, with 19.2 billion minutes watched across ABC, ESPN and ESPN2. ABC boasted the network's largest non-CFP bowl audience in 11 years last season, averaging five million viewers. More than a dozen of ESPN's slate of bowl games last winter delivered multi-year viewership highs, with the Wasabi Fenway Bowl scoring its most-watched edition ever.

In addition to Bowl Season ringing in the New Year, ESPN will present all 2025-26 College Football Playoff quarterfinal bowl games on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day - Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Capital One Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl Game Presented by Prudential and Allstate Sugar Bowl - as well as both semifinal bowl games - Vrbo Fiesta Bowl and Chik-fil-A Peach Bowl - on January 8 and 9.

Schedules are subject to change. Please continue to check @ESPNPR and ESPN Press Room for more information. Additional scheduling details, including commentator assignments for each bowl game, will be announced following bowl selections in December.
