How to watch, listen, stream the Fiesta Bowl: Oregon vs Liberty
It’s the first part of a pretty good triple-header of college football on ABC as the Oregon Ducks take on undefeated Liberty (13-0) in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.
The Ducks and the Flames get things started at 10 a.m. PT on New Year’s Day with the two College Football Playoff contests later in the day.
Liberty is going for its biggest win in program history, while Oregon will try to send Bo Nix out a winner. The start time is a bit interesting and different because it will be before noon local. The players better eat plenty of Wheaties for this one.
Fans from across the country will be able to check out the Fiesta Bowl in a variety of ways. Here are a few of them.

What to Expect?
With all of the opt outs, the question of what to expect is a good one. While the Fiesta Bowl doesn’t have as many opt outs as some bowl games like the Sun Bowl or the Orange Bowl, some are still questioning the matchup. Oregon is a Power Five team and Liberty is not. But that question came up last year when Tulane faced USC in the Sugar Bowl, and the Green Wave pulled off the huge upset.
As long as the Ducks don’t take Liberty for granted, the talent gap alone should propel Oregon to victory.
What's at Stake for Both Teams?
For Liberty: This would be the biggest win in the Flames’ history. Liberty was a Football Championship Subdivision program until 2018 when they joined Conference USA. They’ve been to four bowl games since, going 3-1. This is their first New Year’s Day Six bowl, and the Flames are attempting to have a perfect season for the first time.
For Oregon: Obviously, the Ducks would like to get that taste of the most recent loss to the Huskies out of their mouth, and defeating Liberty would go a long way to doing that. Quarterback Bo Nix and tailback Bucky Irving will participate is great news for the Ducks and horrible news for the Flames.
