Another bowl game is about to launch in college football.

Starting in 2020, the ACC and AAC will play in an unnamed bowl game at Boston's Fenway Park, according to watchstadium.com.

The Fenway Park bowl joins Los Angeles and Myrtle Beach as new locations for more bowls after the NCAA’s Football Oversight Committee agreed to add a maximum of three new bowl games for 2020.

With these additions, 65 percent of the 130 FBS college football teams will be eligible for a bowl.

Two other MLB stadiums already host bowl games — the Pinstripe Bowl is at Yankee Stadium and the Cheez-It Bowl is at the Diamondbacks’ Chase Field. 

The ACC already has a team participating in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.

It's not the first time Fenway has hosted a football game in recent years. In 2015, Boston College played Notre Dame in the park and three games were played there in 2017.
