The schedule for the 2019–20 bowl games is below. All times are [[Eastern Time Zone|EST]] ([[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]−5). The schedule consists of 40 bowl games in FBS (the [[New Year's Six]] bowl games, 33 additional bowl games, and the [[College Football Playoff National Championship|National Championship game]]) and one bowl game in FCS (the [[Celebration Bowl]]). [[List of college bowl games#Division II bowls|Division II bowls]] and [[List of college bowl games#Division III bowls|Division III bowls]] are not included here.

===Bowl-eligible teams===
{{see also|Bowl eligibility|Bids to college bowl games}}
Generally, a team must have at least six wins to be considered [[bowl eligibility|bowl eligible]], with at least five of those wins being against FBS opponents. The [[College Football Playoff]] semi-final games are determined based on the top four seeds in the playoff committee's final rankings. The remainder of the bowl eligible teams are selected by each respective bowl based on conference tie-ins, order of selection, match-up considerations, and other factors.
However, six teams ([[2019 Army Black Knights football team|Army]], [[2019 East Carolina Pirates football team|East Carolina]], [[2019 Florida Gators football team|Florida]], [[2019 Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team|Hawaii]], [[2019 Liberty Flames football team|Liberty]] and [[2019 Virginia Tech Hokies football team|Virginia Tech]]) needed to win seven games to become bowl eligible for the 2019–20 season – Army and Hawaii because their regular season consisted of 13 games, and the other four because they defeated two FCS teams during the season. At season's end, Florida, Hawaii, Liberty, and Virginia Tech were bowl-eligible with at least seven wins each, while Army and East Carolina did not reach the seven win threshold.
