College Football Playoff to expand to 12-team format in 2024 season

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

The College Football Playoff announced Thursday that it will expand to a 12-team format starting as early as 2024, ending the year and a half process of talks, according to reports. The news comes just a day after the Rose Bowl came to an agreement on its contract for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

The CFP was waiting for that announcement, and now the 12-team event will take place after the culminating four-team run in 2023.

Some changes that come with the news include the introduction of campus-hosted playoff games for seeds 5-12.
