American Athletic Conference teams are guaranteed at least seven bowl appearances annually as part of the conference’s postseason lineup, which began in the 2020 season and is in place through 2025.

 The American, as it has done seven times in the last nine seasons of the current postseason structure, will send its champion to a New Year’s Six bowl if that team finishes higher than the champions of four other conferences in the final College Football Playoff rankings. American Athletic Conference teams are also eligible for the College Football Playoff if they are among the top four teams in the final CFP rankings.

As part of the current bowl cycle, The American will annually send teams to the Military Bowl against an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent, the Wasabi Fenway Bowl in Boston, also against an ACC team, and a third annual spot which will alternate between the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl and the EasyPost Hawaii Bowl.

In the 2023 season, The American will additionally fill four spots from a group of nine bowls: the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, the Birmingham Bowl, the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, the RoofClaim Boca Raton Bowl, the Frisco Bowl, the ServPro First Responder Bowl, the New Mexico Bowl and the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
