College Football Bowl Schedule: Date, TV channel, how to watch originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
College football has been back in full force, a reprieve for players, coaches and fans alike after the coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of many bowl games last year while a slew of programs opted not to participate regardless of record.
There will be no shortage of bowl games this season, though a handful have again been canceled due to COVID-19 outbreaks. Three of this year's bowl games will make up the College Football Playoff, which culminates with the National Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
