The College Football Playoff (CFP) has announced that it will continue to have ongoing discussions with ESPN regarding the media rights for a potential 24‑team playoff.

In a statement released by the CFP, officials said that the organization will keep engaging with ESPN as it explores the possibility of expanding the playoff field beyond its current size.

The talks are part of the CFP’s broader review of how the postseason could evolve, with media rights negotiations being a key element of any expansion plan.

ESPN, which currently holds the broadcast rights for the CFP, is the likely partner for any expanded format, according to the CFP’s remarks.

At this stage, the CFP has not provided a timeline or confirmed whether the 24‑team expansion will proceed, and no further details have been released.
