Looking to end the 2025 season with a bowl victory, No. 23 Iowa football faces No. 14 Vanderbilt in the ReliaQuest Bowl. ESPN will televise the 11 a.m. CT game on New Year’s Eve, live from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Hawkeyes (8-4) were on the doorstep of something special this season, having dropped four games to four ranked teams that included two College Football Playoff participants.

Meanwhile, Vanderbilt (10-2) delivered arguably the best season in school history with Heisman candidate Diego Pavia leading the way. The Commodores just missed a CFP appearance in the process. Buy Iowa vs. Vanderbilt tickets
