January 25, 2027 — Allegiant Stadium crowns college football in Las Vegas
The College Football Playoff National Championship is Monday, January 25, 2027, at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT on ESPN — a Pacific-time title night on the Strip corridor, not a South Florida Hard Rock stub.
Fan programming starts Friday, January 22. Track Jan 25 for the trophy kick — Jan 22 is festival day, not the championship snap.
Confirmed: Mon Jan 25 Allegiant / 7:30 ET — not Hard Rock Miami, not Super Bowl, not Friday fan fest
Confirmed: January 25, 2027; Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas; 7:30 p.m. ET; ESPN; CFP National Championship. Not confirmed as Hard Rock Stadium, as an NFL Super Bowl, or as a Saturday afternoon kick. Fake “moved back to Atlanta Mercedes-Benz” stubs invent a corridor.
Numbers that keep this off generic “January title game” filler
- Kick: Monday, January 25, 2027 — 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
- Venue: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas (CFP site announcement Jan 2025).
- TV: ESPN networks for the championship broadcast.
- Pacific chapter: third CFP title in the Pacific time zone after Bay Area (2019) and Los Angeles (2023).
- Weekend: host celebration from Friday, January 22 — separate from Monday kickoff.
Who actually needs the Vegas Monday on the calendar
Travel buyers and club watch parties should book Allegiant / Strip timing — Eastern 7:30 means a late workday start on the East Coast and an afternoon local kick in Nevada. Miami hotel muscle memory is the wrong city for 2027.
Bracket watchers still need the preceding playoff rounds (campus first round, quarterfinals, semifinals) before these two teams exist — this page is only the title Monday.
Las Vegas Allegiant hosts the 2027 title — Hard Rock Miami is a leftover wrong address on too many countdown pages
CFP selected Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium for Monday, January 25, 2027, with a 7:30 p.m. ET kick on ESPN. That single venue fact contradicts catalog stubs that still print Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Vegas becomes only the third Pacific-time CFP championship city after the Bay Area and Los Angeles.
Honest pages keep Allegiant, the Monday ET/PT split, the Friday fan-fest start, and refuse to sell an NFL Super Bowl or a random New Year’s Six bowl as this SKU.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When is the 2027 CFP National Championship?
Monday, January 25, 2027, at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The College Football Playoff locked the date and site; ESPN carries the title game.
2Is it at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami?
No. Older stubs that say Miami Gardens / Hard Rock are wrong for 2027. Allegiant Stadium on the Las Vegas Strip corridor is the host — CFP announced Vegas years ahead of the game.
3When does championship weekend start for fans?
The official celebration footprint begins Friday, January 22, 2027 (fan experiences and host-committee programming), with the championship itself Monday night the 25th. Don’t treat Friday as kickoff.
4Is this the Super Bowl or a New Year’s Six bowl?
No. This is the CFP National Championship only — the last game after first-round campus sites, quarterfinals, and semifinals among the rotating major bowls. The Super Bowl is the NFL; the Rose/Sugar/etc. bowls can host playoff rounds but are not this Monday title.
