List of College Football Playoff games

The following is a list of College Football Playoff games. For the 2014–15 through 2023–24 seasons, the semi-finals rotate between the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta, and Peach Bowls, with each hosting a semi-final every third year. A standalone National Championship game is held roughly a week later.[1]

Beginning in the 2024–25 season, the Playoff will expand to twelve teams, with four rounds. The first round will be played on campus sites, the quarter-finals and semi-finals rotating among the same six Bowl games, along with the standalone National Championship game.
