The expanded College Football Playoff gave us more hyped matchups than ever before, but the wide landscape of bowl season continues to deliver. The Pop-Tarts Bowl has become a modern classic, and gave us a 42-41 Iowa State win over Miami. The Hawaii Bowl went to five overtimes on Christmas Eve. Bret Bielema and Shane Beamer beefed in the Citrus Bowl. The holidays are an amazing time.
Bowl Season announced the full 2025-26 schedule of college football bowl games on Thursday, giving us a formal look at the upcoming collection of bangers. It kicks off with the HBCU Celebration Bowl on Dec. 13 and goes all the way until Jan. 2. The CFP carries us from there all the way to Jan. 19, when two teams will vie for a national championship in Miami Gardens, Florida.
CBS will continue broadcasting the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Kick is set for 2 p.m. on Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas. Additionally, Dec. 27 is one of the most stacked days of the year as eight bowl games will take place on that day, including the Pop-Tarts Bowl, Texas Bowl and Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl Presented By Gin & Juice By Dre and Snoop (yes, that’s its official name).
Below is a detailed look at the complete schedule for the 2025-26 college football season, including dates, locations and TV channels. All times are Eastern.

Pacers vs. Thunder: On-court NBA Finals logo needs to return to give the event the special feel it deserves
It’s the most important and biggest event of the year for the NBA, but you wouldn’t know it by the mere optics of the Finals.No gold trophy at center court.And more importantly, no Finals script logo anywhere on the floor.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementShort of Oklahoma City fans wearing all white, you couldn’t tell the magnitude of the moment. Tyrese Haliburton’s winning shot in Game 1 will be etched in history regardless of the series outcome, but visually something was missing.Fans took to social media in the last few days to remark how the floor looks sterile and bare compared to NBA Finals series of the past, and they were especially dismayed when bringing up the special courts the NBA uses for the early-season Emirates NBA Cup.A closeup view of the 2014 NBA Finals logo at American Airlines Arena in Miami.
