Plot Synopsis

Originally known as the FORT WORTH BOWL (2003-2005), the ARMED FORCES BOWL has featured the "armed forces" theme since 2006, with patriotic overtones recognizing all five branches of the service throughout the game. Lockheed Martin joined the bowl on February 5, 2014, as the title sponsor of the postseason college football game formerly known as the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl (2006-2013). In 2019, Lockheed Martin committed to an extension of their title sponsorship through the 2025 game.
