ATLANTA (Oct. 15, 2025) – Officials today announced that the 2026 College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl is sold out.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has now sold out 26 of its last 29 games, including its previous three Semifinal Games and now all five times it has hosted a game in the College Football Playoff bracket.
As part of the recently expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl will host its CFP Semifinal game at 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Jan. 9 from Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Potential teams will be announced when the 2025-26 postseason bracket is released by the CFP selection committee Sunday, Dec. 7.
The CFP Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl will feature the winners of two CFP Quarterfinal games, which will also be played at CFP bowl sites on either Dec. 31 or Jan. 1. The winner of the CFP Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl will then advance to play in the 2026 CFP National Championship Game Monday, Jan. 19 at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
This will represent the fourth time the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has hosted a CFP Semifinal game, but its first in the new expanded 12-team College Football Playoff format. The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl previously hosted CFP Semifinals in 2016, 2019 and 2022 during the four-team College Football Playoff and hosted its first-ever CFP Quarterfinal Jan. 1, 2025.
“We look forward to hosting two of the nation’s best teams for one of the biggest games of the year in the Capital of College Football,” said Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO and President Gary Stokan. “And now we know that game will be played in an unmatched atmosphere inside a sold-out Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.”
Since its inaugural game in 1968, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has attracted 3.4 million fans to Atlanta, with an average of 77,891 fans attending the game during its three previous CFP Semifinals. The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl also ranks second only to the Rose Bowl in attendance among CFP bowls during the past six years.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl last hosted a CFP Semifinal game in 2022 when eventual National Champion No. 1 Georgia defeated No. 4 Ohio State 42-41. That game’s attendance of 79,330 set new Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Mercedes-Benz Stadium records, surpassing the number of fans who attended Super Bowl LIII, the 2018 and 2025 CFP National Championship Games and the SEC Championship in the same venue.
