The Fiesta Bowl is a must-see each year for any true college football fan. It always pits two great teams against each other and consistently delivers with action-packed (and competitive) football.

The 2024 Fiesta Bowl should be no different. This year, Bo Nix and Oregon’s high-octane offense will be taking on Liberty after it secured its first FBS conference championship with a win over New Mexico State.
At first blush, it may seem like Oregon has the advantage here. As the eighth-ranked team in the country, Oregon earned its bowl appearance and then some. Bo Nix, its quarterback, is one of the top in the country and was in the hunt for the Heisman. He leads a downright impressive offense that ranked second in the nation for scoring and offensive yards. And with a solid defense to boot, Oregon will be tough to beat.
But Liberty is no slouch. The team is ranked 23rd in the nation and earned its first Fiesta Bowl appearance by going undefeated this season with 13 wins. Liberty quarterback Kaidon Salter had a solid year behind center, but dominated several games with his rushing ability. Liberty’s defense, meanwhile, has put on a show this year, topping the country in interceptions.
All of that becomes a recipe for what should be an exciting game. Will we see Bo Nix be Bo Nix and dominate or will the Liberty defense, which has been so stellar all year long, rain on his parade? Meanwhile, can the Oregon defense keep up with Salter or will they have as hard a time as every other Liberty opponent this year trying to keep up with him?
On paper, one might say this year’s Fiesta Bowl won’t be all that competitive. But we have a feeling they’re wrong. And we may just see one of the more compelling Fiesta Bowls ever when the teams kick off on New Year’s Day (January 1) at 1 p.m. ET.
Read on for more on how you can tune in to watch the game live.
