 — For the second-straight year, Sun Belt West Division champion Troy (10-2, 7-1 SBC) has earned the right to host the Hercules Tires Sun Belt Football Championship at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Troy, Ala., at 4 p.m. ET/3 p.m. CT on Saturday, Dec. 2. Tickets are on sale now, starting at just $10. 

The Trojans will host Sun Belt East Division champion App State (8-4, 6-2 SBC), which ties Louisiana for the most Sun Belt Football Championship appearances all-time. 
 
The game will once again be nationally televised on ESPN, which has been the broadcast home for the Sun Belt Football Championship since the event’s inception in 2018. 
 
Troy is appearing in its second-straight Sun Belt Football Championship and will attempt to add to its conference-record seven all-time Sun Belt titles. App State is making its fourth appearance in the six-year history of the championship game. Just four teams—App State and Coastal Carolina out of the Sun Belt East Division and Louisiana and Troy out of the Sun Belt West Division—have ever competed in the Sun Belt Football Championship game.
