- The Holiday Bowl has been played annually at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, California since 1978.
- The game is currently sponsored by Pacific Life Insurance, so it is known as the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.
- BYU played in the first seven Holiday Bowls, and later competed in an additional four games, prompting some to call it the "BYU Bowl."
- The game currently features the 2nd place Pac-10 team and the 3rd place Big 12 team, but the 2010-2013 matchups will pit the #3 Pac-10 team against the #5 Big 12 team.
