The Broncos qualified for bowls in 2020 and 2021, but opted out of the postseason in 2020 and withdrew from the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl last season because of COVID-19 issues on the team.
The Mean Green (7-6, 6-3 C-USA) fell to UTSA in the Conference USA championship for the second time this season, North Texas will be playing in its third straight bowl game and making its 13th overall appearance in a bowl. The Mean Green have lost five straight bowl games, with their last win coming in the 2013 Heart of Dallas Bowl against UNLV.
