Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl announces 2022 game date

The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl will be played at Raymond James Stadium on Friday, December 23, with a kickoff time to be announced at a later date.

The game, owned and operated by ESPN Events, will air on ESPN.

“We’re still feeling the excitement from this past season’s sold-out crowd at Raymond James Stadium and are looking forward to making this 2022 edition of the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl even more memorable,” said executive director Scott Glaser, in a statement. “Our staff and committee members are building a bowl experience that not only showcases a tremendous game-day experience but also highlights each of Tampa Bay’s unique offerings for fans and student-athletes alike.”

Last year’s in-state matchup resulted in the University of Central Florida beating the University of Florida 29-17, in front of a crowd of 63,669 fans.

Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl ticket information will be announced later this fall. Additional game information is available at gasparillabowl.com.
