College football 2024 season bowl game and playoff schedule

A day after the schedule for the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff was announced, a near-complete bowl game slate was revealed on Thursday.

The date and time for the Holiday Bowl will be announced later.

Excluding College Football Playoff games, there will be 37 bowl games. It should come as no surprise that college football postseason games will go up against the ever-expanding NFL schedule. In late December, the College Football Playoff games will go head-to-head with the NFL. On Saturday, Dec. 21, while three CFP first-round games are to be played, the NFL will have two nationally televised Week 16 games: Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens.

Here is the schedule for the 2024 college football season’s bowl games:
