The College Football Playoff's long-awaited expansion is set to happen in 2024.
The CFP officially announced Thursday that it would expand in two seasons. The expansion announcement comes after an agreement with the Rose Bowl to make it a part of the expanded playoff.
The national title game for the 2024 playoff will be held on January 20, 2025 and the quarterfinals will be played in the vicinity of New Year's Day.The Rose Bowl had reportedly been stonewalling the CFP with the intent of maintaining its status and structure as much as possible. First, it requested that it be allowed to keep its traditional Jan. 1 window in future playoffs, with the intention of hosting Big Ten and Pac-12 teams when its playoff game didn't fall on New Year's Day.
Had the Rose Bowl not agreed to the change, college football's most storied bowl reportedly faced the possibility of being excluded from the New Year's Six bowl rotation in the CFP's next contract.
