How to Watch the College Football Playoff National Championship

The 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship will be played on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN, with kickoff expected to be around 7:30 p.m. ET.

Will Ohio State Win the 2024-25 National Championship?

Ohio State failed to make the College Football Playoff this year due to their late-season loss to Michigan. With their current odds (+750) topping Michigan, there's a good possibility that the Buckeyes will be in the running for a national title in 2024-25. The Buckeyes are one of five teams that have won a College Football Playoff National Championship (2014-15 season).

Who Will Win the National Championship in 2024-25?

The Michigan Wolverines are the obvious choice to return to the national title game after winning in 2023-24, though they'll have to get past their biggest rival in Ohio State. Georgia (+425) has the best odds to win the title, but Alabama is always in the running as well.
