The Music City Bowl is a post-season college football game that has been played in Nashville, Tennessee, since 1998. The first game was at Vanderbilt Stadium. Beginning in 1999, the game has been played at LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans.

Beginning in 2002, the game became known as the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. In 2003, it became officially called the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl Presented by Bridgestone.

The game initially featured a matchup between represenatives of the Southeastern Conference and the Big East Conference, but the Big East was replaced by the Big Ten Conference effective in 2002.
