The National Bowl Game is an American independently operated post-season college football all-star game played annually since 2011, most often in December. The game showcases NFL draft prospects of those collegiate players who have completed their eligibility in NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and the NAIA. Since 2014, the game has been played as a doubleheader with the FCS Bowl.




History


The National Bowl Game was first played in April 2011 at J. Birney Crum Stadium in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Subsequent games have been held in December, and in 2013 the game moved to Riccardo Silva Stadium on the campus of Florida International University (FIU). After three years at FIU, the game moved to Municipal Stadium in Daytona Beach, Florida. It has subsequently moved to other locations in Florida.
The game has been organized by East Preps LLC, who operate the game independently. As of 2023, the game is branded as the College Football Alumni Association (CFBALL) National Bowl.
The game and an associated scouting combine provide opportunity for players from smaller colleges to get exposure with scouts from various professional leagues, including the NFL and CFL. Organizers report that 26 players from the December 2015 games (National Bowl Game and FCS Bowl) reached the NFL in some capacity. At the December 2016 game, 14 NFL teams were represented, with over 30 scouts in attendance.
