Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl is a non-profit organization that strives to inspire youth, engage the community, support local charities, and create positive economic impact in Southern Arizona.
OUR STORY
In 2015, the Arizona Bowl became one of three new bowl games sanctioned by the NCAA. Founded by Arizona Sports and Entertainment Commission (ASEC), Alan Young, Kemp Ellis, Nikki Balich, Mark Irvin, Ali Farhang, and Fletcher McCusker, the Mountain West Conference, and Campus Insiders in a joint venture, the inaugural game was held on December 29, 2015.
Now, each year football fans and enthusiasts come together to support the bowl-eligible teams to see who will win the championship.
Supported by various sponsors, partners, and organizations, Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl makes an economic impact every year in Southern Arizona. Now appearing on Barstool Sports streaming services, football fans from around the nation can be a part of the excitement.
Mark your calendars for Dec. 30 and join us for the 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl!
