The inaugural 12-team field is down to two and the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship game is set for Monday, Jan. 20 between the No. 8 seed Ohio State Buckeyes and No. 7 Notre Dame.

Notre Dame has leaned on its steady defense and some timely plays on offense to get past Indiana, Georgia and Penn State to advance to the national title game.
Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.
