Las Vegas Bowl
 < 2018  2021 > 

The 2019 Las Vegas Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 21, 2019, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. EST (4:30 p.m. local PST) on ABC.[7] It was the 28th edition of the Las Vegas Bowl, and one of the 2019–20 bowl games concluding the 2019 FBS football season. Sponsored by automotive manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors, the game was officially known as the Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl.

This was the last edition of the Las Vegas Bowl played at Sam Boyd Stadium, the venue of the game since its inception in 1992, as the bowl will move to Allegiant Stadium in nearby Paradise for the 2020 playing. This was also the last edition to have a conference tie-in with Mountain West, as starting with the 2020 playing, the bowl's tie-ins will be structured to feature a Pac-12 team against either a Big Ten team or SEC team.[8]
