Season Overview
Schedule & Format
The 2025 NCAA Division I FBS season marks the 156th year of college football’s rich history. The regular season kicks off on August 23, 2025, and runs through December 13, 2025. The postseason, including the College Football Playoff National Championship, wraps up on January 19, 2026, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
This is the second year with the 12-team CFP format, featuring straight seeding: the top four highest-ranked teams, regardless of conference, will earn first-round byes.
Rule Emphasis
Expect tighter officiating this year—especially on player safety. There's renewed focus on enforcing rules that protect defenseless players, restricting taunting, controlling sideline behavior, illegal contact, and pacing of play.
Additionally, new signal rules stipulate that "move" and "stem" are now reserved for defensive cadences, while the offense can use a "clap"—and more than 11 defenders on the field at the snap triggers a live-ball foul with clock implications.
