News Summary:

On September 8, 2026, College Football Playoff (CFP) officials triggered a 30-day exclusive negotiating window with broadcast partner ESPN to discuss a potentially expanded playoff format, indicating interest in doubling the playoff field from 12 to 24 teams. Earlier on September 8, the CFP issued a statement announcing its decision to move forward with evaluating potential 24-team playoff expansion by beginning media rights discussions with ESPN. This followed the CFP's August 31 announcement of an activation with iFlag, a flag football events company, to integrate the sport into the 2027 CFP National Championship festivities in Las Vegas, Nevada. On August 6, the CFP also announced a change in protocol for the selection committee, which could result in the ninth-ranked team missing the 12-team playoff bracket.
