The 2018 Redbox Bowl was a college football bowl game that was played on December 31, 2018, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with kickoff at noon PST (3:00 p.m. EST).[6] It was one of the 2018–19 bowl games concluding the 2018 FBS football season. This was the 17th annual edition of a game that has gone by different names, and was known as the Foster Farms Bowl for the previous four years. For 2018 the game was renamed for its new sponsor, the DVD and video game rental company Redbox.[7]
