The Bahamas Bowl Is Back Again
Following a one-year absence, the Bahamas Bowl is back in Nassau for its eighth edition on Jan. 4.
Kickoff is at 11 AM ET at the Thomas Robinson Stadium and will be televised live on ESPN.
“Hosting the Bahamas Bowl underscores our position as a premier destination for world-class sporting events,” said Latia Duncombe, Director General of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. “With attendees enjoying the excitement on the ground and millions tuning in on ESPN, this event showcases The Bahamas’ stunning beauty and exceptional hospitality to a global audience, leaving lasting impressions both on and off the field.”
This historic edition of the Bahamas Bowl marks the first time the game will be played in January and, for the first time ever, it will take place on a Saturday.
In celebration of this exciting event, fans can now pick-up complimentary tickets at John Watling’s Distillery, Delancy Street, offering a unique opportunity to experience the thrilling atmosphere of The Bahamas Bowl for free.
The two teams competing in this year’s Bahamas Bowl are the Buffalo Bulls (8-4), representing the Mid-American Conference, and the Liberty Flames (8-3), representing Conference USA.
The Bills will also make a return to The Bahamas after having won the 2019 Bahamas Bowl. The Liberty Flames will be making their inaugural bowl appearance in The Bahamas.
The Bahamas Bowl forms part of the country’s broader Sports in Paradise initiative, which aims to position the nation as the premier destination for sports tourism.
This multi-year partnership is helping to solidify the country’s status as a leader in hosting world-class sports events and bring even greater international attention to the islands.
The Bahamas Bowl is one of 17 bowl games owned and operated by ESPN Events, and it has traditionally featured teams from the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA.
Past champions of the event include UAB in 2022, Middle Tennessee in 2021, and Buffalo in 2019.
