The Holiday Bowl is an annual college football bowl game held in San Diego, California. The bowl was founded in 1978. It is planned to be held at Snapdragon Stadium starting in December 2024.[2] The bowl has tie-ins with the Pac-12 Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

Although 10 of the current Pac-12 schools are leaving the conference in August 2024, current and former Pac-12 football teams will continue in the previously agreed upon bowl selection process through the 2025 season.[3] The exact date and time of the 2024 Holiday Bowl is not yet announced.[4]
