College Football Playoff Again Clashes with NFL

Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · NBC Sports

The College Football Playoff will again face competition from NFL games on December 19, with three CFP games scheduled simultaneously with two Week 15 NFL matchups.

The 2026-27 College Football Playoff schedule features three games on Saturday, December 19: one at noon ET, one at 3:30 ET, and one at 7:30 ET. The later two games will compete directly with NFL Week 15 matchups—the Seahawks vs. Eagles at 4 p.m. on Fox and the Bears vs. Bills at 7:20 p.m. on CBS.

The college games will air on TNT, continuing a recurring conflict since the CFP expanded to 12 teams. Historically, NFL games have drawn higher ratings than college games in these head-to-head matchups. catcross.org
