’s bowl season kicked off Friday with the Bahamas Bowl and Cure Bowl, with seven more set for Saturday as the first batch of 43 postseason games through December. The run culminates January 9 with the College Football Playoff’s national championship game at SoFi Stadium, home to the L.A. Rams and L.A. Chargers and last year’s Super Bowl.
The CFP, pitting the four top-ranked teams in the country, will begin its semifinal round December 31, when Michigan plays TCU in the Fiesta Bowl and No. 1-ranked and defending champion Georgia plays Ohio State play in the Peach Bowl, with the winners to face off for the title in L.A.
SoFi is hosting a pair of games this year, with the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl today (December 17) pitting Washington State and Fresno State. There are seven games today, the first Saturday of the bowl season.
The other marquee bowl day is Monday, January 2, which will feature the Citrus Bowl, the Cotton Bowl and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, the latter kicking off after the annual Rose Bowl parade.
Below is the full bowl schedule with matchups, times, locations, and networks. Games on ESPN, ESPN 2 and ABC will also be available to stream on the ESPN app, and Fox games on the Fox Sports app.
