The 67th AutoZone Liberty Bowl has partnered with the College Football Playoff Foundation's Tickets for Teachers program to provide complimentary game tickets exclusively for verified Memphis area educators for the No. 22 Navy vs. Cincinnati bowl game, which will be played on Friday, January 2, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.

Tickets for Teachers, supported nationally by the College Football Playoff Foundation, distributes game tickets to teachers across the country.

“The AutoZone Liberty Bowl is extremely excited to partner with Tickets for Teachers as a thank you for all the hard and meaningful work our teachers do for our youth in the Memphis area,” said Steve Ehrhart, Executive Director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. “We expect an exciting game between two great teams on the football field, but also two of the top-ranked academic institutions in America.”

Complimentary game tickets for this year’s AutoZone Liberty Bowl will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible teachers can secure their tickets by completing the standard verification process through Tickets for Teachers.

Through this program, verified teachers will be eligible to receive four (4) complimentary AutoZone Liberty Bowl game tickets. After completing the required verification process, educators will be responsible only for a standard $4.95 per person booking fee.
