New on Sports Illustrated: 2020-21 College Football Bowl Game Schedule: Matchups, Dates, Kickoff Times and TV Channels

Bowl season kicks off on Dec. 19 with the Frisco Bowl.

After enduring plenty of bumps throughout this unprecedented regular season, college football has finally reached bowl season.

Games are set to start on Dec. 19 with the Frisco Bowl and run through the College Football Playoff national championship on Jan. 11. 

After this year's regular-season schedule has been in constant flux amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the bowl season slate also has been modified. The Redbox,

Pinstripe, Sun and Holiday bowls are among a group of at least 10 games that have been canceled. Several schools, including Boston College and Pittsburgh, have already elected not to play in bowl games this winter, allowing players to go home for the holidays after the trying regular season.

While bowl game matchups are typically announced on Selection Sunday, this year's slate is being revealed early. 

This list will be updated as matchups continue to be scheduled.
