“The 19th edition of the bowl will be televised nationally on ESPN and simulcast on ESPN+ with national radio coverage on Bowl Season Radio and a local radio broadcast available on SportsRadio 610 (KILT-AM). This season marks the 11th year of the Big 12 versus SEC matchup in the game,” Kinder’s said.

LSU will represent the Southeastern Conference, while Baylor will represent the Big 12 Conference. The two programs have met 11 times before, with their most recent matchup coming in the 1985 Liberty Bowl when Baylor defeated LSU, 21-7, on December 27, 1985. The 2024 Kinder’s Texas Bowl will mark the Tigers third appearance in the bowl and their first since the 2021 season. The Bears will also make their third appearance in the Bowl after most recently being selected in 2018.

“We are fired up to announce the 2024 Kinder’s Texas Bowl between the LSU Tigers and the Baylor Bears, two prestigious institutions from the SEC and Big 12,” remarked Kinder’s Texas Bowl Executive Director David Fletcher. “The Bowl is historically one of the largest annual events in our community and this year’s game is no exception. We look forward to welcoming LSU, Baylor and college football fans from throughout the region to Houston for a week of Texas-themed events that will culminate in a New Year’s Eve showdown at NRG Stadium on December 31.”
