In 2023, the game will again be contested by teams from the ACC and the Big 12. It is scheduled for Dec. 28, 2023.

“Since turning toast and jam into an ingenious toaster pastry almost 60 years ago, Pop-Tarts has always been about making the world more fun, more unexpected and more delicious for fans of all kinds,” Pop-Tarts senior director of marketing Heidi Ray said in a press release. “We’re ecstatic to be the new title sponsor of the Pop-Tarts Bowl with our partners at Florida Citrus Sports and cannot wait to host Crazy Good experiences for fans and players alike in Orlando, and for those joining us from home.”

By exchanging one snack sponsor for another, it could alleviate some confusion. Cheez-Itz will continue to be the title sponsor of the the Citrus Bowl, which is also played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando.

The ACC has won 4 of the last 5 meetings with the Big 12 in this bowl game.
