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.
Additionally, ESPN has negotiated a six-year deal with the CFP, starting in the 2026–2027 season.
This deal gives ESPN exclusive access to all rounds of the expanded playoff and, going forward, to all related ancillary programming, including the CFP Selection Show and weekly Top 25 Rankings Shows.
“We are thrilled to maintain our enduring partnership with ESPN,” stated Bill Hancock, Executive Director of CFP, in a statement. “Today is important for college football’s future as well as the CFP.”
There is no comparison to the extensive coverage ESPN provides for the sport during the season.
As we transition to the new 12-team system, there is no better platform to highlight this historic victory since ESPN employees share our passion for college football.
ESPN is granted permission to sublicense a specific number of games by the CFP under both the terms of the new six-year deal and the modified two-year arrangement.
