"We are excited to announce a new partnership with the Las Vegas Bowl through 2025 and to add to our longstanding bowl ties with the Pac-12 in a new location," Big Ten Commissioner James E. Delany said. "The city of Las Vegas is a world-class destination that will be attractive to the participants and fans from our schools, and the support provided by the Raiders organization and ESPN will create a tremendous opportunity to elevate this game into a must-see event during the bowl season."

Since the game debuted in 1992, every Las Vegas Bowl has been played at UNLV's Sam Boyd Stadium, which is located seven miles from the World Famous Las Vegas Strip. In 2020 the event will move to the $1.8 billion Las Vegas Stadium currently under construction near Las Vegas Boulevard. Also the new home of the NFL's Raiders franchise and UNLV football, capacity will be approximately 65,000, including 128 suites.

"The Raiders are proud to partner with the LVCVA and ESPN Events to bring the tradition of the Las Vegas Bowl to Las Vegas Stadium, which will provide an exciting destination for fans from the Pac-12, SEC and Big Ten conferences," said Raiders President Marc Badain. "The Raiders are committed to working with the LVCVA to continue to attract elite sporting events to the newest world-class venue in the Entertainment Capital of the World."

"We're pleased to welcome the 2020 Las Vegas Bowl's new partners, the Southeastern Conference and Big Ten," said Steve Hill, CEO and president of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. "The matchup against the Pac-12 Conference will excite fans across the country, highlight our new stadium and serve as a great economic boost for Southern Nevada."
