NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware football program is bowl bound, Conference USA and Coca-Cola Bowl Season confirmed Saturday night after the conclusion of the 2025 regular season. Delaware, in its first season at the FBS level, will find out its fate on December 7 when all bowl games are announced.
The Fightin' Blue Hens find themselves heading to a bowl game after securing six wins on the season and not enough six-win teams eligible for the 42 FBS bowl games (including CFP).
UD, along with FBS newcomer and conference mate Missouri State, become the second and third first-year FBS programs over the past three seasons to make a bowl game, joining CUSA's Jacksonville State in 2023. Overall, Delaware is one of four programs in all of FBS football since 2012 to advance to a bowl game in its first season (UAB, 2017) with six other six-win teams missing out previously.
Conference USA has bowl ties to the Independence Bowl (12/30), New Orleans Bowl (12/23), ESPN Events (previously Bahamas, TBD), Armed Forces Bowl (1/2), Birmingham Bowl (12/29), Boca Raton Bowl (12/23), Cure Bowl (12/17), First Responder Bowl (12/26), Frisco Bowl (12/23), Myrtle Beach Bowl (12/19), New Mexico Bowl (12/27), Salute to Veterans Bowl (12/16), 68 Ventures Bowl (12/17), and GameAbove Sports Bowl (12/26).
The Hens will be one of seven CUSA teams heading to a bowl this season, joining FIU, Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, LA Tech, Missouri State, and WKU.
