The Miami Beach Bowl is leaving Miami after three seasons and will be played in Frisco, Texas, starting this year, industry sources told ESPN on Friday.
The game would be played at Toyota Stadium, a Major League Soccer stadium, which has a capacity of 20,500. The facility in the Dallas suburb annually hosts the FCS championship game each January.
The former Miami Beach Bowl, created and owned by the American Athletic Conference, was acquired by ESPN, the conference announced.
The bowl game will pit the AAC against a Sun Belt opponent in 2017 and 2019, and against a MAC foe in 2018.
