ESPN Inks New $7.8B Deal for College Football Playoffs

ESPN.

BRISTOL, Conn.—ESPN and the College Football Playoff (CFP) have reached a pair of media agreements that ensures ESPN will continue as the exclusive, worldwide rightsholder to college football’s postseason playoffs through the 2031-32 season. 

ESPN has been the exclusive home of the CFP since its inception in 2015. Under the new $7.8 billion deal, ESPN will expand its current package for the final two years (through the 2025-26 season), adding all four of the new First Round games each year to ESPN’s existing New Year’s Six (now Quarterfinals and Semifinals) and the CFP National Championship rights in the new 12-team playoff that will launch this Fall.
