Peach Bowl
The Peach Bowl is an annual college football bowl game played annually in Atlanta, Georgia, since December 30, 1968.
The first three Peach Bowls were played at Grant Field on the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta. Between 1971 and 1992, Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium hosted the game. From 1993 to 2016, the game was played at the Georgia Dome. The bowl then moved to Mercedes-Benz Stadium starting in 2017. Since 1997, it has been sponsored by Chick-fil-A and is officially known as the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. From 2006 to 2013, it was named the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
From its beginning, the Peach Bowl often featured teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Between 1993 and 2013, the ACC and SEC established official tie-ins with the bowl game.
In 2014, the Peach Bowl, along with the "New Year's Six" bowls, became a part of the College Football Playoff. As part of the four team playoff from 2014 to 2023, the Peach Bowl served as a semifinal game in 2016, 2019, and 2022.
With the expansion of the College Football Playoff to twelve teams in the 2024–25 season, the Peach Bowl serves as either a quarterfinal or semifinal each season. It served as a quarterfinal in January 2025 and will serve as a semifinal in January 2026. When serving as a semifinal, the game will be played a week after New Year's Day.
The winner of the bowl game is awarded the George P. Crumbley Trophy, named after the game's founder, George Crumbley.
The Peach Bowl was approved by the NCAA on May 1, 1968. The game was created to serve as a fundraiser for the Georgia Lighthouse for the Blind Foundation, a project of the Lions Clubs of Georgia. Creation of the bowl is credited to Lions Club member George Pierre Crumbley Jr., known as the "Father of the Peach Bowl", who shepherded it through NCAA certification. While the Peach Bowl has been described as "the nation's first charity bowl", it was predated by other such games, such as the Pythian Bowl (1949–1951).
In 1986, following years of lackluster attendance and revenue, the Peach Bowl was taken over by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
