Despite an ever-growing College Football Playoff (CFP) field, the postseason bowl game slate remains a vital part of the annual NCAA football schedule. As more and more sports leagues and institutions flock to Saudi Arabia for both new and existing events, it looks like the Middle Eastern country wants to add college football to its ever-growing stable. However, according to college football insider Brett McMurphy via X, formerly Twitter, the 2025 Holiday Bowl will not move overseas, remaining in San Diego.
“Holiday Bowl officials met in Saudi Arabia in spring about moving 2025 Holiday Bowl to Middle East, but ACC “didn't want to” move game, sources told@On3sports,” reported McMurphy. “Holiday Bowl will be Jan. 2 in San Diego, pitting ACC vs. current/former Pac-12 team.”
