ESPN has reached an agreement with the College Football Playoff to be the exclusive media rights holder to the expanded playoff. The new 24-team bracket will begin next season, with ESPN’s deal running through the 2031 season. Under the new playoff format, the college football season will start the week before Labor Day and run through Thanksgiving weekend. The top eight teams will receive first round byes, and the first two rounds of games will be hosted by the higher seed. The first championship game for the expanded playoff is set for January 24th, 2028. This change will also eliminate the Power 4 conference championship games.
