The College Football Playoff national championship game is coming to Las Vegas in 2027.
The CFP announced Friday that the 2026 season’s champion will be crowned at Allegiant Stadium on Jan. 25, 2027.
“College football fans across the country are going to be thrilled to hear this news today,” said Rich Clark, executive director of the College Football Playoff. “Las Vegas has shown the world they have amazing venues and boundless energy to host an event like the College Football Playoff National Championship in spectacular fashion. I can’t think of a better stage to crown the best team in college football in 2027.”
Steve Hill, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, promised a “truly extraordinary event, both on and off the field.”
“We appreciate the opportunity the CFP has provided us to welcome college football’s greatest athletes and biggest fans for an unmatched national championship experience in the city built for celebration,” Hill said.
Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 34-23 on Monday in Atlanta in the first CFP final with a 12-team format.
Next season’s CFP national championship will take place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, opened in 2020 and has a capacity for 65,000 fans.
