College Football Bowl Schedule, Playoff Game Times, TV 2024-2025

Things have changed in a big way with the new expanded College Football Playoff.

Now the college football season goes way, WAY long to Monday January 20th, but it also means the time between mid-December and late January will be an even more intense and fun bowl season.

Put it this way: there are 11 playoff games - if you're including the CFP first round games on the home fields of the higher seeds, and they on December 19th and 20th.

Meanwhile, the other bowl games will keep rolling as normal.

The college football bowl season is about to be a lot more fun. Here's the schedule with the game times, dates, networks, affiliations, and sites.
