The **Bayou Bowl** is an annual [high school football](/source/High_school_football) [all-star](/source/All-star_game) [bowl game](/source/Bowl_game) in which the best graduated seniors from [Greater Houston](/source/Greater_Houston) and [East Texas](/source/East_Texas) play against each other. It has been played at Eagle Stadium in [Mont Belvieu, Texas](/source/Mont_Belvieu,_Texas), since 2025. It was formerly played in [Stallworth Stadium](/source/Stallworth_Stadium) in [Baytown, Texas](/source/Baytown,_Texas).

## Bowl history

The game was conceived as a join collaboration between leaders in the Baytown-Houston area, including the Baytown/West [Chambers County, TX](/source/Chambers_County,_TX) Economic Development Foundation, the President of the Baytown Chamber of Commerce, the incoming chair of the [Greater Houston Football Coaches Association](/source/Greater_Houston_Football_Coaches_Association) and a banker from [Amegy Bank](/source/Amegy_Bank) in Baytown.

After the initial success in 2003, leaders of the Bayou Bowl decided to donate proceeds to the [Shriner's Hospitals for Children](/source/Shriner's_Hospitals_for_Children) in [Galveston](/source/Galveston,_TX) and [Houston](/source/Houston,_TX). In 2007, the Bayou Bowl raised $33,000 for the Shriner's Hospitals. Most of the money was raised by the Bayou Bowl Celebrity Golf Tournament.[1] After the 2013 game, both the Louisiana High School Athletic Association and the Greater Houston Football Coaches Association (GHFCA) mutually agreed to end the series and the format shifted to an East vs. West game in which the city was divided along [Interstate 45](/source/Interstate_45). In 2025 the format was again changed to pit the graduating players from the GHFCA's member schools and the East Texas Coaches Association (ETCA)'s member schools.

Since 2025 the Bayou Bowl has also included an "HBCU-style battle of the bands" named the Battle on the Bayou, involving four [HISD](/source/Houston_Independent_School_District) bands. The event takes place before the football game.[2]
