The 2021 Independence Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 18, 2021, and televised on ABC.[2] It was the 45th edition of the Independence Bowl (after the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and was one of the 2021–22 bowl games concluding the 2021 FBS football season.
