Tickets are now on sale for Italian Bowl XLIV, with organizers hoping a return to the University of Toledo’s Glass Bowl stadium will build on the success of the 2023 championship game. The Glass Bowl was the scene for Italian Bowl XLII, on July 1, 2023. It was the first Italian Bowl played outside of Europe. Tens of thousands of fans participated in the advance and game-day festivities in Toledo while many more streamed the game both in the U.S. and Italy.

There are currently 12 teams in the Italian Football League’s top division vying for their chance to compete in the title game in Toledo on June 28. Like the event in 2023, this year’s Italian Bowl will have lead-up activities from June 15 to June 28, from food competitions to youth camps.
