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 semifinals rotated between the Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange, Fiesta, and Peach Bowls, with each hosting a semifinal every third year. A standalone National Championship game is held roughly a week later.[1]

Beginning in the 2024–25 season, the Playoff expanded to twelve teams, with four rounds. The first round is played on campus sites, the quarterfinals and semifinals rotate among the same six Bowl games, along with the standalone National Championship game.
