About College Football Playoff National Championship in brief
The College Football Playoff National Championship is used to determine a national champion of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. The game is played at a neutral site, determined through bids by prospective host cities. The inaugural game was held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in January 2015, and was won by Ohio State. A top-ranked team did not win the game until LSU won the sixth edition in January 2020. The winner of the game is awarded the College Football playoff National Championship Trophy, which is sponsored by Dr Pepper.
The number of cities capable of bidding for the event is restricted by the 65,000-seat stadium minimum. Since cities hosting semifinal games cannot host the championship game in the same year, Pasadena and New Orleans were not eligible for the 2018 game. South Florida and North Texas could not host in 2019; and Glendale and Atlanta were excluded from 2020 consideration. The same exclusions rotate every three years through 2026.
