College Football Playoff Competes with NFL Again

The 2026-27 College Football Playoff schedule features three games on December 19, directly competing with two NFL Week 15 matchups in a continuation of the scheduling conflict.

The College Football Playoff semifinals on December 19 will air on TNT at noon, 3:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. ET, conflicting with NFL games on Fox and CBS featuring the Seahawks versus Eagles at 4 p.m. and Bears versus Bills at 7:20 p.m.

This scheduling overlap has occurred since the College Football Playoff expanded to 12 teams two years ago, with NFL games consistently outdrawing college games in ratings. The first round of the playoff begins December 18 when no NFL games are scheduled. truewildgame.online
