Orlando bowl games 2023: What to know about tickets for 3 bowl games played in Central Florida

Exciting changes to UCF's stadium ahead of 2023 season

UCF is entering a new era on Thursday in its first game as a member of the Big 12 Conference – and the team behind the scenes is working hard to make sure fans get the full experience.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando, yet again, is set to be a hub for postseason college football this season.

Three major bowl games will be played in the City Beautiful over the next few weeks, including the Cheeze-It Citrus Bowl, the Cure Bowl and the Pop-Tarts Bowl. The latter features a first-ever edible mascot that players and coaches get to take a bite out of if they win.

A few of the bowl games have shuffled names, including the Cheeze-It Bowl becoming the Cheeze-It Citrus Bowl after the Citrus Bowl was renamed to the Pop-Tarts Bowl for this season. The Cure Bowl has also moved its location, from Camping World Stadium and Exploria Stadium to UCF's FBC Mortgage Stadium.
