Some key details about the 12-team College Football Playoff were unveiled on Tuesday.
The CFP announced the schedule and bowl game assignments for the first two installments of the expanded format, which is going from four teams to 12 teams beginning with the 2024 season.
In 2024, those first-round games will take place on Friday, Dec. 20 and Saturday, Dec. 21. One game will be played on Friday night with the other three taking place on Saturday — one in the early afternoon, one in the late afternoon and another in the evening. From there, the semifinals will be played at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025 and Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. The CFP title game will then be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Monday, Jan. 20.that the two semifinals are slated for weeknights to avoid conflicting with the NFL's wild card weekend, which begins Saturday, Jan. 11.
Exact kickoff times will come at a later date, the CFP said. The broadcast arrangements for the 2024 and 2025 CFP have not been finalized yet either, though ESPN owns the rights for the final two years of the CFP contract.The original 12-year contract between the College Football Playoff and ESPN ran through the 2025-26 season. That deal also included the “New Year’s Six” bowl games, meaning those bowls had to be included in the first iteration of the 12-team playoff.
