Orange Bowl 2027

The Orange Bowl is one of the oldest and most prestigious games in American college football, first played in Miami in 1935 and staged every season since. It is part of the New Year's Six, the group of elite bowls that rotates hosting duties for College Football Playoff semi-finals, which means the matchup can be either a traditional conference pairing or a national semi-final depending on the year's rotation. Since 1996 the game has been played at the stadium in Miami Gardens rather than the demolished Orange Bowl stadium that gave it its name. The game anchors a wider festival in South Florida that has historically included a parade, a regatta and youth sporting events, and its New Year's slot makes it a fixture of the American holiday sports calendar. For visiting fans it doubles as a winter trip: the game sits in the middle of South Florida's dry season.
