Before the NFL playoffs take hold, college football takes center stage with their annual bowl season. This schedule includes all the traditional bowl games as well as the expanded College Football Playoff (CFP) games, which now feature first-round games, quarterfinals, semifinals, and the national championship. The CFP games are interspersed throughout the bowl season, culminating with the national championship game on January 20, 2025.
Once the college football regular season ends, teams will receive invitations to the bowls and we will update the schedule below.
