The College Football Playoff National Championship Game is returning to Miami with Hard Rock Stadium set to host the game on Jan. 5, 2026.
The Playoff management committee announced a return to South Florida, which previously hosted the 2021 title game between Alabama and Ohio State.
“We are delighted to be returning to Miami,” Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock said in a statement. “South Florida was a great host for the 2021 national championship game despite the event having to be scaled back because of COVID-19, and we look forward to returning in 2026 with a full complement of events and activities during the national championship weekend.
