As the 2026 college football season begins, College Football Playoff officials are already looking toward January when the national championship game will be hosted in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.

CFP brass have been making regular trips to Southern Nevada over the past year scouting potential sites for various events during CFP National Championship week. Las Vegas has been a hot spot for hosting major sporting events in recent years, so its history has made the process a smooth one, according to CFP executive director Rich Clark.

“It has been as smooth as silk,” Clark said Tuesday. “The LVCVA is used to putting on big events.”
