The 2022 Hula Bowl was a postseason college football all-star game played on January 15, 2022, with kickoff at 12:00 noon EST, at the Bounce House in Orlando, Florida. It was the first all-star contest of the 2021–22 bowl games and, while not restricted to FBS players, one of the final games of the 2021 FBS football season. Television coverage was provided by CBS Sports Network.[1] This was the first playing of the Hula Bowl outside of Hawaii, due to Aloha Stadium near Honolulu being closed for renovations.[2] The game rostered players into Aina and Kai teams, the words for land and sea in the Hawaiian language.
Team Aina was led by Mike Smith, former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, while Team Kai will be led by Brian Billick, former head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.[3] Complete coaching staffs were announced as follows:[3]
