The College Football Playoff is set to conclude with the highly anticipated national championship game, and fans are eagerly awaiting the big day. After several rounds of intense competition, the final battle will take place to determine the ultimate champion. Here's what to know about the title game, including the location, time, and broadcast details.
The inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff format has delivered excitement throughout the season, requiring teams to win at least two and as many as three games to reach the final. The top four seeds, Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, and Arizona State, have the shortest path to the championship game thanks to a first-round bye. The rest of the teams have been battling it out through three rounds, vying for a spot in the ultimate showdown.
This year's national champion will be crowned on Monday, January 20th, at the magnificent Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons. This stadium has also hosted the Peach Bowl, a part of the CFP quarterfinals. Fans can look forward to an electrifying atmosphere as the two final teams take the field to determine the best of the season.
The national championship game is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN, so make sure to catch the action live. Those who prefer streaming can also tune in on ESPN.com and the ESPN app.
