WASHINGTON, D.C. – East Carolina will play Boston College in the 2021 Military Bowl presented by Peraton, benefiting the USO at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis on Monday, Dec. 27 at 2:30 p.m. (ET), according to a joint announcement by bowl officials and the Atlantic Coast Conference Sunday.
Â
This will be the first meeting ever between the schools.
Â
While the Pirates (7-5, 5-3 American Athletic) will be making their first bowl appearance since the 2014 campaign, ECU will also enjoy its fifth bowl showing since 2010 and 21st in program history when it visits Annapolis. In addition, East Carolina will seek its 10th championship and first since downing Ohio 37-20 in the 2013 Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Â
The Eagles (6-6, 2-6 Atlantic Coast), who finished in a sixth-place tie with Syracuse in the league's Atlantic Division, will make their first Military Bowl appearance, sixth since 2010 and 29th overall. Boston College, who owns a 14-13 all-time record in bowl games, last played in post-season in the 2018 First Responder Bowl against No. 23 Boise State. The game was ruled a no-contest after lightning forced the game to be canceled with the Eagles leading 7-0 in the first quarter.
