The 2019-2020 college football bowl game schedule kicked off Friday with a pair of games, launching a slate that wraps up Monday, January 13 with the College Football National Championship Game live on ESPN from the New Orleans Superdome. A total of 40 bowl games — ranging from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena in its traditional New Year’s Day spot to the likes of the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa, FL — will flood the sports networks over the holiday frame.

The College Football Playoff Semifinals will decide the participants in the national championship game. Those are both Saturday, December 28, with No. 1 LSU (and Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow) against No. 4 Oklahoma at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta (4 PM ET, ESPN), followed by No. 2 Ohio State against defending champion No. 3 Clemson at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl (8 PM ET, ESPN) in Glendale, AZ.

Here’s the complete schedule, with times and networks (all times ET):
