The 2024 Hawaii Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 24, 2024, at Clarence T. C. Ching Athletics Complex located in Honolulu, Hawaii. The 21st annual Hawaii Bowl game featured South Florida and San Jose State. The game began at approximately 3:00 p.m. HST (8:00 p.m. EST) and aired on ESPN.[3][4][5] The Hawaii Bowl was one of the 2024–25 bowl games concluding the 2024 FBS football season.
The game took five overtime periods to decide, which at the time set a new record for the most overtime periods in a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) bowl game.[6][7] However, this record was surpassed just two days later when the 2024 GameAbove Sports Bowl took six overtimes to decide.[8]
