The Louisville Cardinals have won the first-ever Wasabi Fenway Park Bowl. The Cardinals defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats 24-7 at historic Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts.

The previous two editions of this game was canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Last year, the game was canceled three days before kickoff due to an outbreak within the Virginia Cavaliers football team.
