List of UCF Knights bowl games
The UCF Knights football team competes as part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), representing The University of Central Florida in the American Athletic Conference. Since the establishment of the football program in 1979, the Knights have played in seven bowl games. UCF has appeared in four different bowl games, with multiple appearances in the St. Petersburg (3) and the Liberty Bowl (2).

With their most recent victory in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, UCF has an overall bowl record of 3–4.
UCF's first bowl game came during the 2005 season when, under the leadership of second year head coach George O'Leary, the team underwent the fourth-best turnaround in NCAA history in his second year with the team.[1] Before O'Leary, UCF had not made a postseason appearance since joining the FBS. As an FCS program, the Knights made the 1990 and 1993 playoffs, and were picked as the preseason No. 1 team to start the 1994 season.[2] Since 2004, the Knights have made seven postseason appearances, in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014.[3]
