GAINESVILLE, Fla. – For the fifth-consecutive season and the eighth time in the last nine years, the Florida Gators football program is bowl bound.
Florida (6-6, 3-5 SEC) will take on No. 17 Oregon State (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) out of the Pac-12 in the 2022 SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl on Saturday, December 17. Televised on ABC, kickoff is scheduled for *7:30 p.m. ET / *4:30 p.m. PT at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
This marks the Gators’ first appearance in the Las Vegas Bowl, which began in 1992 with 2022 representing the 31st year and the 30th edition of the event. The last time Florida competed in a bowl game outside of the state of Florida was in 2020, when the Orange & Blue faced Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas.

Florida is making its 48th all-time bowl appearance, entering the matchup with an all-time record of 24-23 in previous bowl games. The Gators won three-straight bowl games from 2016-19 prior to falling to Oklahoma 20-55 in the 2020 Cotton Bowl, and 17-29 to UCF last year in the Gasparilla Bowl. From 2018-20, Florida played in three-consecutive New Year’s Six bowls.
