How To Watch the 2025 Boca Raton Bowl: Louisville vs. Toledo
Get ready for the 2025 Boca Raton Bowl
If there is a more perfect excuse to slack off during the final workdays before Christmas than the Boca Raton Bowl, I haven’t found it. This game occupies a sacred spot on the calendar: a midday kickoff that bridges the gap between the early December appetizers and the post-holiday main courses.
It helps that the setting is pristine—Flagler Credit Union Stadium offers a sun-soaked, palm-tree-lined backdrop that feels like a mini-vacation through your screen, especially if you’re stuck shoveling snow in the Midwest.
This year, Louisville faces off against Toledo. Historically, this game has featured high-scoring shootouts and defensive clinics alike (just look at South Florida’s dominant win in 2023), making it a sharp bettor’s favorite and a legitimately fun watch for anyone who loves the scrappy spirit of college football.
I know how tricky it can be to track down every bowl game during the chaotic holiday season, so I’ve put together this guide to help you find the right channel. Here is everything you need to know to watch the 2025 Boca Raton Bowl, from the kickoff time to the best streaming services for catching the action live.
What channel shows the Boca Raton Bowl?
You can watch the 2025 Boca Raton Bowl live on ESPN on Tuesday, December 23. Coverage begins at 2:00 p.m. ET, making it the ideal midday companion for your last-minute holiday wrapping or “work-from-home” productivity sessions.
If you don’t have a cable subscription, the game is also available to stream on the ESPN app. This means you have plenty of options to tune in, whether you’re near a TV or sneaking a peek on your phone.
Best TV plans for watching the Boca Raton Bowl
Since ESPN is the primary home for the vast majority of bowl games, my top recommendation for most fans is Hulu + Live TV. It’s the best overall value because it bundles the live ESPN channel with Disney+ and ESPN Select included. This covers you for the Boca Raton Bowl and practically every other bowl game this season, all in one subscription. It’s a robust option if you want to set it and forget it for the entire month of December.
If you are looking to save some cash for holiday gifts, Sling TV (specifically the Sling Orange plan) is the best budget-friendly route. It’s the cheapest way to get the live ESPN channel on a traditional streaming grid. While it doesn’t have the massive channel lineup of Hulu, it gives you exactly what you need for this game without the bloat.
Alternatively, since this specific game (and most others) is on ESPN, you could simply sign up for a standalone ESPN Unlimited subscription for the month.
