Football Zebras has obtained the conference assignments of the officiating crews to the 2019-20 bowl games. The Power Five conferences receive five bowls, other conferences receive three, with a fourth assignment rotated annually (Sun Belt has 4 bowls this year). All times are Eastern. The conference that assigns the officials for each game is listed in italics. Crew assignments will be added as we receive them, although some conferences will only release crew information on the day of the game.

The following symbols appear for on-field officials:

  • [icon name=’plus-circle’ unprefixed_class=’goodcall’] indicates officials that are currently in the NFL development pool, either by appearing on the preseason development roster or by working a college all-star game in the past two years.
  • [icon name=’fa-star’ unprefixed_class=’champ’] worked a New Year’s 6 bowl game or the National Championship in 2018-19.
