What is peach bowl?

The Peach Bowl is a major annual college football bowl game held in the United States, part of the College Football Playoff (CFP) system. Sponsored by Chick-fil-A, it is officially known as the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The game is typically played in late December or early January in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which is the home of the Atlanta Falcons (NFL) and Atlanta United FC (MLS).

Established in 1968, the Peach Bowl has grown in prestige and importance over the years. It was historically part of a tier of bowls just below the major New Year's Day games, but since the inception of the CFP in the 2014–2015 season, the Peach Bowl has been one of the six New Year's Six bowls, the most prominent bowl games in college football.

The Peach Bowl rotates as a host for the national semifinal games alongside the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl. This means that every three years, it serves as one of the two games that determine which teams advance to the CFP National Championship.

The game often features top teams from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), among others. Over the years, the Peach Bowl has hosted numerous memorable matchups and has been instrumental in determining NCAA football champions.

The event also includes a variety of festivities and activities surrounding the game itself, contributing to its reputation as a celebrated sporting event in the college football calendar.
