CFP Locks Playoff Dates And Venues Through 2031

Playoff Calendar Gets a Major Shake-Up

The College Football Playoff just dropped a massive schedule update. New dates and bowl sites are locked in through the 2031 season. This changes how fans plan their viewing parties for years to come. The league wants to avoid clashing with the NFL on New Year's Eve. That means the first quarterfinal in 2026 moves to Dec. 30 instead of the 31st.
