The 80th edition of the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl is set for Wednesday, December 31, closing out a yearlong celebration of one of college football’s most historic postseason games. The New Year’s Eve matchup, featuring top teams from the Southeastern and Big Ten Conferences, will kick off at 3 p.m. ET on ABC, serving as a lead-in to that evening’s College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
The 2025 matchup marks the 30th time the Citrus Bowl will be played in December and the third time it will be held on New Year’s Eve. In last season’s game, also played on Dec. 31, No. 20 Illinois defeated No. 15 South Carolina 21-17. Illini running back Josh McCray earned MVP honors with 114 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in the fourth quarter, lifting the Illini to their first 10-win season since 2001.
Tickets to the 2025 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl are available now exclusively through Florida Citrus Sports membership and Stadium Pass Flex Plans. Single-game tickets will go on sale to the public after teams are selected on Sunday, December 7.
