The 2021 Sun Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 31, 2021, with kickoff at 12:00 p.m. EST (10:00 a.m. local MST ) and televised on CBS .[2] [3] Sun Bowl (87th playing, as the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic ), and was one of the 2021–22 bowl games concluding the 2021 FBS football season . Sponsored by Kellogg's Frosted Flakes breakfast cereal, the game was officially known as the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl , after its mascot, Tony the Tiger .

Teams
