Who plays in the CFP National Championship 2027?
The winners of the two semifinals meet in Las Vegas. The Orange Bowl semifinal is January 14 and the Sugar Bowl semifinal is January 15, so one team gets an extra day of rest.
The playoff has 12 teams. Four first-round games are played on campus on December 18 and 19, followed by four quarterfinals and two semifinals at bowl sites.

What to watch when betting a playoff game
- Rest: a top seed with a bye has not played in weeks, while its opponent just played.
- Injuries from the conference title game or the previous round.
- Neutral-site travel and which fan base is closer to Las Vegas, Nevada.
- Early line moves, which often come within a day of the matchup being set.
Playoff games carry full motivation on both sides, so the market tends to be tighter than in other bowls. Our guide on how to bet on college football explains spreads, totals and moneylines.
