The College Football Playoff will expand from four to 24 teams beginning with the 2027 season, according to plans announced ahead of the 2024 championship game in Houston.
The current four-team format, which was used for the title game held in Houston in 2024, will be replaced by a significantly larger bracket. The expansion aims to include more conferences and provide greater access to the national championship.
Details on the selection process, seeding, and schedule for the 24-team playoff are expected to be finalized before the 2027 kickoff.
