ESPN bags 24-team College Football Playoff rights, Variety reports
Variety reports ESPN’s deal starts in 2027–28, with ABC getting at least six early-round games.
TLDR
According to Variety, ESPN’s bigger playoff haul means 23 games instead of 11, with the field doubling to 24 teams. Its exclusive worldwide rights run from 2027–28 through 2031–32, but that doesn’t mean every game stays on ESPN: ABC gets at least three games from each of the first two rounds, and ESPN can sublicense select games.
