College Football Playoff kickoff, ESPN, TNT broadcast times announced for 2023-2024

College Football Playoff Broadcast, Kickoff Times 2023-2024

The times and broadcast partners for the 2023-2024 College Football Playoff were announced today with the kickoff times on ESPN and TNT.

The 12-team expanded College Football Playoff starts this season with the first round games played on the home sites of the higher seeds, and the top four seeds getting a bye before the next round.

The broadcast teams have yet to be announced, and the times might change around a little bit depending on various factors.

Note, the first CFP First Round Game has Friday all to itself, and then comes the three-game run on Saturday - it should be one of the biggest days on the 2024 sports calendar.

Also note the January 20th date for the College Football Playoff National Championship - roughly a week and a half later than it normally is. That's the plan going forward.
