As part of an agreement with ESPN, Capital One has secured the title sponsorship of the Orange Bowl, beginning with the Capital One Orange Bowl to be played on December 31, 2014, in South Florida. The multi-year deal builds on Capital One’s substantial support of college athletics by becoming the official credit card and bank of the new College Football Playoff.
The Capital One Orange Bowl will play host to a College Football Playoff Semifinal in year two of the agreement (New Year’s Eve 2015) and again in year five (2018). In the other four years of the agreement, the Capital One Orange Bowl will feature the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Champion (or ACC replacement team should the champion qualify for the College Football Playoff) against a highly ranked team from the Big Ten, Southeastern Conference (SEC) or Notre Dame.
“As the landscape of post-season collegiate football evolves, the Orange Bowl looks forward to this new partnership with Capital One and continuing its long-standing relationship with ESPN,” said Orange Bowl president Luis Boué. “Capital One’s commitment to collegiate athletics, teamed with ESPN’s reputation as a sports leader and the Orange Bowl’s championship tradition will ensure a beneficial relationship for all of us.”
ESPN will exclusively carry all New Year’s Six bowl games on December 31 and January 1, including the Capital One Orange Bowl and Playoff Semifinals. For 2014-15, the Semifinals will feature No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3 as ranked by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, and will be played in the Rose Bowl presented by Northwestern Mutual and the Allstate Sugar Bowl on January 1, 2015. ESPN will also carry the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship from North Texas, featuring the winners of the two semifinals on January 12, 2014.
