UCF football has accepted an invitation to play in the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 22 at FAU Stadium.
This is the first time the Knights have played in the game and the fifth consecutive season the program has appeared in a postseason game.
The Boca Raton Bowl has tie-ins with the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA and Mid-American Conference, but the Knights are expected to face an ACC team in the bowl after the NCAA lifted minimum bowl requirements due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Knights’ opponent has not been announced yet.
“We’re excited to continue our season in the Boca Raton Bowl — a great location for our fans and families to see us play,” UCF athletics director Danny White said in a news release.
