The 2024 Music City Bowl, officially known as the 2024 TransPerfect Music City Bowl, was a college football bowl game played on December 30, 2024, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The 26th annual Music City Bowl game featured the 9–3 Missouri Tigers going up against the 8–4 Iowa Hawkeyes. The game began at approximately 1:30 p.m. CST and aired on ESPN.[2][3] The Music City Bowl was one of the 2024–25 bowl games that concluded the 2024 FBS football season.

Teams

[edit]

Consistent with conference tie-ins, the game featured teams from the Big Ten Conference and the Southeastern Conference (SEC).

This was the 14th meeting in the series between Iowa and Missouri—with 12 of the prior meetings held before 1911, and 5 before 1900[4]—and the second time the teams faced off in a bowl game. The Hawkeyes defeated the Tigers in the 2010 Insight Bowl, 27–24. These two teams were selected to compete in the 2020 Music City Bowl but the game was cancelled due to complications regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
