Next season's bowl schedule will feature the first college football game in Puerto Rico and the return of San Diego's Poinsettia Bowl after a 10-year absence, On3 reported Saturday.
Both of those games reportedly will feature teams from the Group of 6, with the Poinsettia Bowl potentially pitting the champions of the Mountain West and the new-look Pac-12.
The Puerto Rico Bowl and Poinsettia Bowl, last played in 2016, reportedly will replace three bowls that are no longer on the schedule: LA Bowl, Bahamas Bowl and Detroit's GameAbove Sports Bowl.
There will be a total of 41 bowl games for the 2026 season, including the 12-team College Football Playoff.
The first American college football game was supposed to be played last October in Puerto Rico, however the contest between Division II programs Kentucky State and Franklin Pierce was canceled due to field conditions and relocated to New Hampshire from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
BYU defeated quarterback Josh Allen's Wyoming squad 24-21 in the most recent Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 21, 2016, in San Diego.
