Check out the CFP National Championship 2024-2025 payouts and winner prize money details
On Friday night, Notre Dame and Indiana formally began the enlarged College Football Playoff era, launching viewers into a whole new viewing experience and viewers are curious to know about the CFP National Championship prize money.
The teams themselves should be ecstatic about this innovation, but many people will need some time to get used to the new 12-team model. Because money may be a strong pacifier, regardless of one’s reservations.

Participants in the 2024 CFP National Championship are earning enormous sums of money in addition to the history and awards they may be able to accrue. Additionally, they have the chance to earn much more.
Each team that enters the 12 CFP National Championship finalists bracket receives $4 million for their conference, and each of the quarterfinalists receive an additional $4 million. For the last four competitors, the prize money skyrockets to an additional $6 million for their conference, which also extends to those who punch their ticket to the national championship game as each team advancing to the final national championship game will contribute another $6 million to their conference.
The four conference champions Oregon, Georgia, Boise State and Arizona State rested the first week and by being the top seeds with their free passes are worth $8 million to their conferences without even playing a game.
Additionally, each conference whose team participates in the College Football Playoff will receive $3 million to cover expenses for each round in the playoffs.
At 26.5 inches tall and 35 pounds, the oblong-shaped trophy for the winner tapers into a full-size football flattened at the top. Made of 24-carat gold, bronze and stainless steel, the trophy represents a four-strand soccer ball, representing all the teams competing in the playoffs.
Television screens will capture the frantic atmosphere of a home college postseason game, but the caliber of play will undoubtedly suffer. A larger field brings mediocrity and drama. It will be intriguing to observe which trait ultimately wins out. Regardless of the on-field product, college football will undoubtedly succeed due to its enormous popularity.
However, a raging war in South Bend would undoubtedly be beneficial. More money will probably be invested in this tournament as a result of seeing the inspiring impact Friday’s first-round showdown has on the state of Indiana. And the beast simply keeps growing in size.
