The 2021 Frisco Football Classic was a college football bowl game played on December 23, 2021, in Frisco, Texas, with kickoff at 3:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. CT local time), televised on ESPN. It was one of the 2021–22 bowl games concluding the 2021 FBS football season.
The NCAA approved the bowl game in order to accommodate all 83 bowl-eligible teams; otherwise, one bowl-eligible team would not have been selected for a bowl game. The added bowl game essentially served as a replacement for the canceled San Francisco Bowl.
