After agreeing to a deal with TNT, ESPN will sublicense select College Football Games to appear on TNT Sports broadcasts. It appears that TNT will broadcast two first-round College Football Playoff games during the 2024 and 2025 seasons, along with an additional two quarterfinal games beginning with the 2026 season and ending in the 2028 campaign.

These games will primarily air on TNT along with other channels under the company’s portfolio. ESPN will continue to present all other College Football Playoff Games on its network. That will include the College Football National Championship Game. ESPN will continue to manage the sponsorship program dor the College Football Playoff.

“We’re delighted to reach this agreement with ESPN, providing TNT Sports the opportunity to showcase these College Football Playoff games on our platforms for years to come,” Luis Silberwasser, chairman and chief executive officer of TNT Sports, said in a statement. “TNT Sports aims to delight fans and drive maximum reach and engagement for these marquee games.”

This will be the first time that TNT will broadcast College Football. In recent years they have added rights to both the MLB and NHL to go along with the NBA and NCAA Tournament.

“ESPN is pleased to sublicense to TNT Sports a select number of early round games of the College Football Playoff, an event we’ve helped to grow — alongside the CFP — into one of the preeminent championships,” ESPN executive vice president, programming & acquisitions Rosalyn Durant said in a statement. “We’re confident in the reach and promotion that this new agreement will provide as we enter the new, expanded playoff era.”

The monetary value of the deal has not been released to the public.
