Birmingham Bowl Among Several Bowl Games Canceled

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Due to recent changes and the large number of teams opting out of bowl season this year due to COVID-19 concerns, the 15th annual TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl has been canceled.

“We have made the difficult decision to cancel the TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl,” said Mark Meadows, executive director. “As the inventory of available teams lessened, our ability to stage the game was compromised. We will direct our focus to next year’s bowl, and look forward to staging the game in the 2021 season.”

The TicketSmarter Birmingham Bowl was slated to take place on Friday, January 1, 2021, at historic Legion Field.
