The 2021 LA Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 18, 2021, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. EST (4:30 p.m. local PST) and broadcast on ABC.[2] It was the inaugural edition of the LA Bowl (after the edition scheduled for 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and was one of the 2021–22 bowl games concluding the 2021 FBS football season. Sponsored by late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and independent investment bank Stifel, the game was officially known as the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl presented by Stifel.[3]
