The Michigan Wolverines and Washington Huskies College Football Playoff Championship is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. PT, if you have already done your research online. However, that is not the real start of the game.
The NCAA states that the real kickoff will occur at 4:45 p.m., after pregame activities that include Fantasia's performance of the national anthem.
Although there will be extensive pregame coverage, the official game broadcast on ESPN starts at 4:30.
ESPN's "College Football Live" kicks off their coverage of the game at 11 a.m. PT, and "Championship Drive" takes over at noon. Following "College Game Day" at 2 p.m., there will be additional pregame coverage until kickoff at 4:45 p.m.
In the era of the College Football Playoffs, the Huskies aim to capture their first national championship as a university. UW last won a title in 1991.
As the top-seeded team, Michigan is the clear favorite to win. According to ESPN, there have only been three upsets in the College Football Playoff's history, and none of them have occurred in the championship game. The Sugar Bowl victory by Washington on New Year's Day was one of those three upsets.
When Washington joins the Big Ten in the fall of 2024, the Wolverines will start as the Huskies' conference rival.
The game will begin at 7:45 p.m. ET/4:45 p.m. PT, but the broadcast itself begins at 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT.
The 2024 championship game is being held at Houston, Texas's NRG Stadium. The NFL Houston Texans play at the stadium.
The game can only be seen on ESPN. If you don't have cable, there are a few other streaming services that you can choose from. However, you might have to pay.
