The nine Bowl Subdivision conferences and Notre Dame reached an agreement Friday on a six-year deal to continue the College Football Playoff through the 2031 season, a significant step that establishes a revenue-sharing plan and allows the CFP to finalize a media-rights agreement.
Executive Director Bill Hancock said the agreement doesn’t lock in a CFP format for 2026 and beyond, but it guarantees at least a 12-team field and five conferences having annual access to the playoff through 2031.
