Western Kentucky has officially accepted a bid to play in the First Responders Bowl on Dec. 30 against Western Michigan.
Kickoff from Gerald Ford Stadium in Dallas is set for 11:30 a.m. CST on the campus of Southern Methodist University.
WKU athletics director Todd Stewart and head coach Tyson Helton will hold a press conference to discuss the bowl game Sunday afternoon.
The Hilltoppers are 3-2 in bowl games since becoming an FBS member. WKU went four-consecutive seasons with a bowl appearance from 2014-17, winning three-straight under former coach Jeff Brohm.
Helton was the offensive coordinator for the 2014 and 2015 champions of the Bahamas Bowl and Miami Beach Bowl.
