What channel is Iowa football vs. Kentucky? How to watch and stream the Citrus Bowl
Iowa football has a chance to end its season on a high note against Kentucky in the 2022 Citrus Bowl.
The Hawkeyes and Wildcats clash in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday at noon CT. Fans can watch the game on ABC or stream on the Watch ESPN app with a cable provider login.
Iowa (10-3, 7-3 in the Big Ten) enters the bowl game off the heels of a 42-3 beatdown at the hands of Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game. The Hawkeye offense crumbled, going scoreless over the final three quarters (even with a quarterback change). Iowa will be without Tyler Goodson, who declared for the NFL Draft and opted out of the Citrus Bowl.
For Kentucky (9-3, 5-3 in the SEC), the Wildcats won their final three games of the regular season, taking down Vanderbilt, New Mexico State and Louisville. Kentucky boasts a handful of familiar faces, such as head coach Mark Stoops (a former Iowa player and graduate assistant) and Nebraska transfer Wan'Dale Robinson.
