The College Football Playoff will once again party in the city where the heat is on. Miami will host the title game in 2026 to crown the 2025 season’s national champion on Jan. 5.

Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens last hosted the game in 2021, when Alabama capped its 13-0 perfect season with a 52-24 thumping of No. 3 Ohio State.

“We are delighted to be returning to Miami,” Executive Director of the College Football Playoff Bill Hancock said in a release. “South Florida was a great host for the 2021 national championship game despite the event having to be scaled back because of COVID-19, and we look forward to returning in 2026 with a full complement of events and activities during national championship weekend. The first-class stadium, convention center, hotels and supportive people in South Florida made the decision to return quite easy. The CFP National Championship has become one of the most popular sporting events in the United States in a short period of time, and we look forward to a terrific celebration in Miami in 2026.”

The next game (2023) is set for SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The 2024 game is scheduled for NRG Stadium in Houston. It was reported earlier Monday that the 2025 game will be played in Atlanta.
