San Diego, CA–The San Diego Bowl Game Association and FOX Sports announced that the 43rd annual San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl will return on December 28 at Petco Park.

The kickoff is at 5 p.m. with a pregame show beginning at 4:30 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on FOX.

“We’re excited to announce the 2022 bowl game date,” said Cherry Park, 2022 president of the Holiday Bowl. “Last year’s cancellation was certainly challenging and heartbreaking for college football fans and the entire San Diego community. We can’t wait for December 28 to finally bring the game and the amazing experience to Petco Park and downtown San Diego.”

Holiday Bowl fans will have the opportunity to enjoy three days of bowl game events that include a concert, the Snapdragon Bowl Bash – a downtown San Diego street party, the Port of San Diego Holiday Bowl Parade, and, of course, the SDCCU Holiday Bowl. The bowl game matches top teams from the Pac-12 and ACC.  

Recognizing that San Diego is a premier tourist destination, the mission of the non-profit 501(c)(3) San Diego Bowl Game Association is to generate tourism, visibility, and economic impact for the San Diego region by producing the Holiday Bowl and other outstanding events and experiences for visitors and local fans of all ages. Since 1978, the association has generated $997 million in economic benefit for the region.

Tickets will first be made available to the annual bowl game ticketholders. Tickets will go on sale to the general public in August. For information, visit www.HolidayBowl.com or call (619) 283-5808, ext. 303.
