"CFP Officials Plan Expanded 14-Team Playoff Format from 2026 Onward"
College football commissioners are considering expanding the College Football Playoff field to 14 or 16 teams starting in 2026, with discussions also focusing on adding more automatic qualifier spots. The current 12-team model for 2024 and 2025 is set, but the focus has now shifted to potential changes for 2026 onward. The CFP faces a time crunch to finalize a new television deal with ESPN, with discussions also involving revenue sharing and voting powers for the future.
