History
The inaugural Cure Bowl was played in 2015 and the game featured opponents from the Mountain West Conference San Jose State University and the Sun Belt Conference Gerorgia State University, due to The American not having enough teams to fill the tie-in. Thus, the Mountain West received the back-up slot.
The game currently features opponents from The American and the Sun Belt Conference. Rather than play at Bright House Networks Stadium on the campus of UCF, it was decided to hold the game at the newly renovated Camping World Stadium in downtown Orlando.
