Image:VitalisSunBowlLogo.png Sun Bowl is an annual college football game that is played usually at the end of December in El Paso, Texas. It is one of the oldest continuously played bowl games, held continuously since 1936. In most of its early history, the game pitted the champion of the Border Conference against an at-large opponent. Games are played at Sun Bowl Stadium.

The game was called the John Hancock Bowl from 1989 to 1993 and is currently sponsored by Vitalis and is officially called the Vitalis Sun Bowl. Nowadays, the game usually features a team from the Big 10 against a Pac-10 conference representative. In 2006, the Big 12 will take one of the berths in the game.
