Some bowls that have been mentioned in the team threads started thus far, without full schedules:

Battle of Elkhorn Creek
Aug 21 at Great Crossing
Franklin County vs. Scott County
George Rogers Clark vs. Great Crossing
- Great Crossing and Scott County have switched off hosting rights in the first 3 editions of this bowl game, which presumably will return hosting rights to Great Crossing for this year.
- It was indicated in the Franklin County thread that they will be facing Scott County this year. Last year Scott County played George Rogers Clark, so presuming they are playing again in the second year of a bowl contract, that would put George Rogers Clark against Great Crossing.

eCampus Bowl
Aug 21 at Lexington Christian Academy
- LCA hosts and will obviously compete. The other teams that participated in last year's eCampus Bowl were North Hardin, who played the Eagles, and Bryan Station who played South Warren.

J Allen Builders Bowl
Aug 21 at Warren East
Warren East vs. TBD - 8:00pm
- Coach Foley posted in the Listserv looking for an opponent in the J Allen Builders Bowl. Last year the bowl also included Franklin-Simpson, who played Whites Creek (TN), and Warren East played Floyd Central (IN). Foley gave no indication on which team dropped, and didn't say anything regarding whether or not the other two teams would be the same as last year.

Per South Laurel's 2026 schedule, they're going to be playing Paul Laurence Dunbar in the Alton Blakely Ford Bowl at Pulaski County on Aug 21, and then they're hosting Somerset in the Kinetic Cardinal Bowl on Aug 28.

Correction....the South Laurel schedule that came out incorrectly said the Alton Blakely Ford Bowl was on Aug 21 at Pulaski County, and then I added in Pulaski County's scheduled game for that week. Looks like the Alton Blakely Bowl is actually on Aug 22 at Somerset, and is going to have games between Dunbar/South Laurel and Somerset/Wayne County.

Looks like I was mistaken, and as of last year, Great Crossing and Scott County each were hosting at their own stadium for the Battle of Elkhorn Creek games. Scott County's schedule also confirmed that this year will be Franklin County vs. Scott County, and then GRC will be playing Great Crossing.

Looks like Pike County Central and Belfry will both be facing the same teams as last year in the Pike County Bowl, but Cabell Midland (WV) released their 2026 schedule and they have a different opponent for the week of the 28th/29th, so it looks like Pikeville is still on the hunt for their opponent in the Pike County Bowl. Last year East Ridge didn't take part in the bowl, but based on the time of Belfry's game against Central, I'm wondering whether or not there might be an East Ridge game slated to take place there.

Warren East picked up Ohio County for the second game and Franklin-Simpson will play Whites Creek again this year in the first game.
