Gasparilla Bowl announces 2025 game date and kickoff time

The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl will return to Raymond James Stadium on Friday, Dec. 19, with a 3:30 p.m. kickoff and national broadcast on ESPN.

Owned and operated by ESPN Events, the annual college football bowl game will feature teams from a selection of conferences that include the SEC, ACC and AAC.

“Each year, the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl continues to grow in stature and impact, and we couldn’t be more excited to return to Raymond James Stadium this December,” said Scott Glaser, executive director of the bowl.

Last year’s game saw the Florida Gators dominate Tulane, 33–8, behind a record-setting performance by freshman quarterback DJ Lagway. The win was Florida’s first bowl victory since 2019.

Ticket information will be announced later this fall. For more information, visit gasparillabowl.com.
