Mitsubishi Motors was the title sponsor in 2018 and 2019, and there was no game last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s game will be played at Allegiant Stadium for the first time, moving from Sam Boyd Stadium. It will be between teams from the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences at a date to be announced. The Big Ten rotates with the Southeastern Conference as part of a six-year deal.

“We are truly excited to welcome SRS Distribution to the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World,” bowl executive director John Saccenti said in a statement. “This creates an exciting relationship just as our game reaches new heights in its 30th year by moving into a new, state-of-the-art stadium and kicking off our matchup with three top conference brands that span across the nation.”
