JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl will be played one day before New Year\u2019s Eve this year at EverBank Stadium. <\/p>\n
ESPN and the Gator Bowl made the announcement on Wednesday, slotting the 82nd annual game for Dec. 30 at 11:30 a.m. Capacity at the stadium will be reduced for the game due to construction. That shouldn\u2019t be an issue for the game, barring a significant matchup. The last two games have drawn just over 31,000 fans. <\/p>\n
The 2022 game between Notre Dame and South Carolina drew 67,383 fans, the most at the bowl since Michigan and Mississippi State in 2011. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous honor to be the lead game in a robust day of iconic college football programming. The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl and Northeast Florida will provide an incredible post-season destination for the players, coaching staff and fans alike,\u201d TaxSlayer Gator Bowl Chairman Bill Dixon said in a release. <\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of our entire green jacket membership, we look forward to hosting a representative from both the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville for Bowl Week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tickets are available in a limited presale offer through June 12. Public ticket sales will begin Sept. 15. <\/p>\n
The game will pit a team from the SEC against a team from the ACC. The game hasn\u2019t announced where its 2027 game will be played. <\/p>\n
