Arizona Bowl Format
The Arizona Bowl was founded in 2015 and has current tie-ins to the Mountain West Conference and Mid-American Conference. It is one of the few bowl games not under the ESPN umbrella, and that has led to some trouble with finding a broadcast home.
The CW currently broadcasts the Arizona Bowl after previously being on the Barstool Network. This matchup is the second bowl game to take place in Tucson, as the city was previously home to the Copper Bowl before it moved to Phoenix.
