Cure Bowl
The Cure Bowl is an annual American college football bowl game played in December of each year in Orlando, Florida, currently at Exploria Stadium. The Cure Bowl is so named to promote awareness and research of breast cancer, with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. From its inaugural game in 2015 through the 2018 game, the game was played at Camping World Stadium and was sponsored by AutoNation, being officially known as the AutoNation Cure Bowl. In December 2019, FBC Mortgage became the new title sponsor, making the game officially the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl. The Cure Bowl usually features teams from the American Athletic Conference and the Sun Belt Conference.History
The game has tie-ins with the American Athletic Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. The inaugural game took place on December 19, 2015, featuring the San Jose State Spartans from the Mountain West Conference and the Georgia State Panthers of the Sun Belt Conference. A Mountain West team was invited to the bowl due to The American not having enough bowl-eligible teams to fill the tie-in. The inaugural game was nationally televised on the CBS Sports Network, as has each subsequent edition.
During the planning stages, it was originally proposed to hold the game at Bright House Networks Stadium on the campus of UCF. However, it was later decided to hold the game at the newly renovated Camping World Stadium in downtown Orlando, joining the Camping World Bowl and the Citrus Bowl as annual bowl games at the venue. The bowl remained at Camping World Stadium through 2018, and was moved to Exploria Stadium starting in 2019.Game results
