UCLA was selected to play in the Cactus Bowl against Kansas State on Dec. 26 in Chase Field in Phoenix at 6 p.m. PT.

The Bruins (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12) inched into a bowl with a 30-27 win over Cal in their regular season finale to earn their fifth bowl game in six years, missing one last year for the first time during the Jim Mora era.

UCLA has never played in the Cactus Bowl.
