College football commissioners met on June 17, 2026, to discuss the future format of the College Football Playoff (CFP). There remains no consensus among key conferences, specifically the Big Ten and SEC, which could maintain the playoff at 12 teams for the upcoming season if an agreement is not reached by December 1. In recent discussions, the Big Ten proposed a shift to a 24-team playoff, but various concerns among commissioners complicate decision-making. The current contract and revenue generated from conference championship games are also pivotal topics of conversation.

- •Current playoff format remains at 12 teams for next season.
- •Discussions highlight potential changes to metrics and recusal policies.
