How To Watch the Pop-Tarts Bowl: BYU vs. Georgia Tech
Get ready for the 2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl
In just a few short years, the Pop-Tarts Bowl might just be the internet’s favorite bowl game. Played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, this year’s matchup pits No. 12 BYU against No. 22 Georgia Tech.
But let’s be honest—the football is almost secondary to the viral sensation that is the mascot. After last year’s winning team literally toasted and ate the mascot live on national television, the bar has been set incredibly high for post-game antics.
I tune in for the football, but I stay for the spectacle. It’s rare to see a corporate sponsorship embraced so wholeheartedly by fans, but the sheer absurdity of the edible mascot stunt has made this a must-watch event. Beyond the memes, you usually get a highly competitive game between ranked teams that just missed the College Football Playoff cut.
Here is how to watch the 2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl (and the toaster pastry sacrifice).
