The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, Orlando’s New Year’s tradition, returns this season. The 79th edition of the game, featuring top teams from the Southeastern and Big Ten conferences, will kick off at 3 p.m. ET on ABC, serving as a lead-in to that evening’s College Football Playoff quarterfinals. This postseason will mark the 29th time that the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl will take place in the month of December and the second time it has been held on New Year’s Eve; on Dec. 31, 2016, LSU defeated Louisville and Heisman Trophy-winner Lamar Jackson 29-9 in the 71st game. In last season’s Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, held on Jan. 1 of this year, Tennessee defeated Iowa 35-0, marking just the sixth shutout in the bowl’s history. Vols true freshman quarterback Nico Iamaleava was named game MVP as Tennessee reclaimed the title of winningest team in Cheez-It Citrus Bowl history, with five wins in six all-time appearances.
The official bowl pregame tailgate party held at Tinker Field next to Camping World Stadium will feature interactive games, inflatables, face painters and more. Admission is FREE. A wide selection of food and beverages will be available for purchase from local vendors.
Fanfest begins at 11am, Kickoff is at 3pm EST.
