The Cactus Bowl is back, and it’s returning to Arizona State’s campus.
The Fiesta Sports Foundation, which operates the Fiesta and Cactus bowls, announced the return Wednesday, ending a nine-year run at Chase Field, home of baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks.
The game will be played on December 26 at Arizona State’s Mountain America Stadium.
The bowl moved to Chase Field while Arizona State’s stadium underwent renovations and had several title sponsors, most recently known as the Rate Bowl from 2024–25.
The Cactus Bowl had previously been played at Arizona State’s stadium from 2006-2015.
