The Melbourne Bowl is a proposed NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college football bowl game to be played in Melbourne, Australia at Marvel Stadium. The college conferences that would have tie-ins with the bowl are the Pac-12 Conference and the Mountain West Conference. It would be the third FBS bowl game played outside the United States after the defunct International Bowl and present-day Bahamas Bowl.
In 2015, Australian officials met with officials of the Pac-12 Conference and the Mountain West Conference to bring a FBS bowl game to Australia. The bowl game would start for the 2016 College Football season. On April 11, 2016, the NCAA announced a freeze on new bowl games until after the 2019 season.
