Viva Las Vegas.
The 2027 CFP National Championship game between the Tennessee Volunteers and the [pick a team] will be played in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.
It will be the latest calendar start ever (I’m pretty sure) on January 25th.
"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. I also want to thank Steve Hill and the entire Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority for the hard work and dedication they put in to making this day a reality for their city."
"Pairing the energy of Las Vegas with the College Football Playoff National Championship will make for a truly extraordinary event, both on and off the field," said Steve Hill, president and CEO of the LVCVA. "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."
Las Vegas will become the third city in the Pacific time zone to host the CFP title game, joining the Bay Area (2019) and Los Angeles (2023).
I saw the Stones at Allegiant Stadium last year. It was cool.
Next season’s championship game will be in Miami.
