An agreement was reached on Friday by the nine Bowl Subdivision conferences and Notre Dame to extend the College Football Playoff (CFP) through the 2031 season. This six-year deal includes a revenue-sharing plan and paves the way for finalizing a media rights agreement.
While the format for the CFP beyond 2025 is not set in stone, the agreement guarantees a minimum 12-team field and ensures that five conferences will have annual access to the playoff until 2031. The current season will see an expansion from four teams to 12, with the top five conference champions and seven at-large selections comprising the field.
