ESPN will remain the home of the event's other games, including the national championship.
"ESPN is pleased to sublicense to TNT Sports a select number of early round games of the College Football Playoff, an event we’ve helped to grow—alongside the CFP—into one of the preeminent championships,” said ESPN executive vice president of programming and acquisitions Rosalyn Durant. “We’re confident in the reach and promotion that this new agreement will provide as we enter the new, expanded playoff era.
The College Football Playoff, after 10 years as a four-team tournament, is expanding to 12 teams for the first time in '24.
