“The College Football Playoff is thrilled to bring the national championship game back to New Orleans in 2028,” said Rich Clark. “Few cities embrace college football quite like New Orleans, with its unmatched hospitality, culture and passion for the game. We know fans, teams and the entire college football community will have an unforgettable experience in one of the sport’s most iconic destinations.”
The College Football Playoff National Championship for the 2025 season is slated for Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla.
“This region again proved itself back in 2020 when it hosted what was recognized as the best national championship event to that point in time, and I’m confident that we will meet and exceed expectations again in 2028,” said Jeff Hundley, the chief executive officer of the Allstate Sugar Bowl. “While the Sugar Bowl is proud to serve as a CFP site every year, we’re particularly thrilled to have another opportunity to host the National Championship, and we want to thank Rich Clark and the organizers of the College Football Playoff for entrusting us with this awesome event. Furthermore, we’re honored and humbled by the great support of partners throughout the city and state who have come together to make this happen.”

The first 16 CFP-era seasons will have passed without a title game in a cold-weather venue.
That’s way too long.
For 2031-46, all games need to be held in cold weather venues, to even the score, then it can alternate between a cold-weather venue and a non-cold-weather venue.
Not going to happen. Weather could disrupt the game, plus with all of the CFP Fan Fests, concerts, etc., they will continue to be in warm(ish) locations.
Fan Fests & concerts are important to CFP & I fully support CFP being at warm weather neutral site.
Indy in Jan ‘22 after the ‘21 season.
@Kevin Kelley Is Nashville in January considered warm? In my experience it is not but because of the new stadium and how the city is trying to market itself for big events they have a realistic shot at 2031 and beyond.
Reverend Nashville would make an excellent venue for CFP.
All the ancillary events could be held at nearby indoor venues like NBA/NHL arenas.
Z-Man, you keep having the most unrealistic ideas.
I’d like the natty game to be held up north half the time too but that’s not gonna happen.
Hey Z man don’t your remember that super important concert before the Ohio st notre dame title game last year? Numb nuts says it’s important but I don’t remember it and I bet he don’t either. And he said neutral sites. Does that mean no games in Miami because you know the hurricanes play there. No games in Tampa, USF plays there. No games at rose bowl, ucla plays there. Dan can you please keep up with the dumb ideas because anyone with a brain can see your ideas are just dumb
Championship game should not be awarded to venues that already have playoff bowl game. Let’s have more variety of venues.
