College Football Playoff: Where is the National Championship Game?

The 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship Game between No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. While Lucas Oil Stadium is not home to a New Year’s Six Bowl game, Indianapolis is a tremendous event city and is more than capable of welcoming two rabid southeastern football fanbases to the midwestern metropolis.

As with the NFL‘s Super Bowl, the national title game is picked out years in advance. Sometimes, it is played in one of the New Year’s Six Bowl sites. Other times, it goes to cities that have a proven track record of holding events. This is why national title bouts can be played in major cities like Indianapolis, Tampa and even Las Vegas in the future. A champion will be crowned in Indiana.

Opening kickoff from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis will be at 8:00 p.m. ET on Monday, Jan. 10.
