The game will be held at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, and feature teams from Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference. The Famous Toastery Bowl will be one of the 2023–24 bowl games concluding the 2023 FBS football season.[1]

The bowl was originally scheduled, as the Bahamas Bowl, to be played on December 16, 2023. However, on October 26, it was announced that the game would be held at Jerry Richardson Stadium due to renovations at Thomas Robinson Stadium.[2] The game also swapped dates and start times with the 2023 Myrtle Beach Bowl. It is expected to return to the Bahamas in 2024.[3] The game was originally scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. EST on ESPN. The game was originally sponsored by mortgage lender HomeTown Lenders, and was to be officially known as the HomeTown Lenders Bahamas Bowl before the relocation.[4][5] On November 14, 2023, the Famous Toastery restaurant chain was named the title sponsor of the relocated bowl.[6]

Teams

Based on conference tie-ins, the game will feature teams from Conference USA (C-USA) and the Mid-American Conference (MAC).
