How To Watch the Las Vegas Bowl
Get ready for the 2025 Las Vegas Bowl
There are few road trips in college football better than the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl. Now played at the shiny Allegiant Stadium, this game has elevated its status from a quirky regional matchup to a heavyweight New Year’s Eve fight. The game features a rotation among teams from the SEC, Pac-12, and Big Ten conferences, creating a clash between “blue blood” programs in the entertainment capital of the world.
I love the narrative tension in this game. You often have one team treating the week like a vacation on the Strip, while the other is out to prove a point. The atmosphere is rowdy, the stadium is pristine, and the game serves as the perfect lead-in to your New Year’s Eve party plans.
