It’s time to go bowling. And for college football fans, it is the most wonderful time of the year.
There are 43 bowl games scheduled this season, including two College Football Playoff semifinals and the national championship game, according to ESPN. The first postseason game begins on Dec. 16, culminating with the National Championship game on Jan. 8, 2024.
Disney’s ESPN and ABC networks will air 40 of the 43 bowl games. Fox, CBS and The CW will each broadcast one game.
The two CFP semifinal playoff games will be played on New Year’s Day, with No. 1 Michigan meeting No. 4 Alabama in the Rose Bowl and No. 2 Washington facing No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl. It is the final year of the four-team playoff. Beginning next season, the CFP will use a 12-team format to determine the national champion, NBC Sports reported.
The two teams passed over for the College Football Playoff, Florida State and two-time defending national champion Georgia, will meet on Jan. 1 in the Orange Bowl.
Here is a look at the upcoming schedule (All times are Eastern)
