PHOENIX (AP) — Motel 6 is returning as the title sponsor of the Cactus Bowl.

This year's game, which features opponents from the Big 12 and Pac-12, will be played Dec. 27 at Chase Field.

The Cactus Bowl is typically held at Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium, but renovations there forced the game to the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks last season. The 2017 Cactus Bowl also will be played at Chase Field before returning to Sun Devil Stadium in 2018.

West Virginia won a wild game last year, Motel 6's first as title sponsor, outlasting Arizona 43-42 in a game that featured 1,196 yards of offense.
