The College Football Playoff has announced extended agreements with three bowl games, including the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The extensions all run through 2026.
“These bowl games have provided a quality experience for the student-athletes and fans for many years, including the first four seasons of the CFP, and we know that will continue,” said Executive Director of the College Football Playoff Bill Hancock. “The communities of greater Dallas, Phoenix and Atlanta have fully embraced the opportunity to be a part of this very popular event and to showcase the unique opportunities they offer to visitors.”
The three bowl games will host a CFP game every year during the six-year period: the semifinals twice, and other games assigned by the CFP selection committee four times. The Orange, Rose and Sugar Bowls were previously announced as semifinals hosts on a rotating basis through 2026.
The semifinals schedule for the next eight seasons is as follows:
2018-19 – Cotton and Orange Bowls
2019-20 – Fiesta and Peach Bowls
2020-21 – Rose and Sugar Bowls
2021-22 – Cotton and Orange Bowls
