The College Football Playoff will continue to be broadcast on ESPN through the 2031-32 season, according to an agreement between the broadcast network and the CFP.
ESPN will expand its current package for the final two years (through the 2025-26 season), adding all four of the new first-round games each year to ESPN’s existing New Year’s Six (now quarterfinals and semifinals) and the CFP national championship rights in the new 12-team playoff that will launch in the fall.
“We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with ESPN,” CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock said in a statement. “It’s a significant day for the CFP and for the future of college football. The depth of coverage that ESPN gives to the sport throughout the season is second to none. There is no better platform to showcase this iconic championship as we move into the new 12-team format because ESPN’s people love college football every bit as much as we all do.”
