2026 Vrbo Fiesta Bowl

College Football Playoff Semifinal. The Vrbo Fiesta Bowl has been a must-see postseason game, with some of college football’s most memorable moments occurring in the Valley of the Sun. The final margin has regularly been a one-score margin and several of college football’s signature games have been played at the Fiesta Bowl.

The Vrbo Fiesta Bowl will send its winner to the CFP National Championship Game in Miami on January 19, 2026. This is the fourth time the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl will serve as a CFP Semifinal.

Vrbo, part of Expedia Group, was announced as the Fiesta Bowl’s new title partner in July 2022. In addition to the game’s exclusive naming rights, Vrbo (pronounced ‘ver-boh’) also became the official travel sponsor of the College Football Playoff. With the Fiesta Bowl, Vrbo enjoys a fully-integrated partnership that incorporates fan activations in addition to digital and social media, content, in-stadium exposure and inclusion at other year-round Fiesta Sports Foundation events such as the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl Parade.
