When is the Sugar Bowl CFP semifinal?

Where are the CFP quarterfinals?
The quarterfinal winners meet in the semifinals. TixBit lists each quarterfinal as its own event:
- Fiesta Bowl quarterfinal, December 30 at State Farm Stadium
- Peach Bowl quarterfinal, January 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium
- Cotton Bowl quarterfinal, January 1 at AT&T Stadium
- Rose Bowl quarterfinal, January 1, in Pasadena: see our Rose Bowl 2027 ticket guide
TixBit's listed start times for the January 1 games can change once the CFP assigns the windows on December 6. Confirm the time on the event page before you plan travel.
Should I buy CFP tickets before the teams are known?
Only if you want to attend no matter who plays. The bracket is not set until December 6, and the semifinal and title-game teams are not known until the earlier rounds are played.
- If you are following one team, buying early means you may need to resell if your team does not reach that game.
- If you want the event itself, the matchup matters less. Compare the same seats across listings and buy at a total you accept.
- Price movement is not predictable. Resale prices can rise or fall once matchups are known. Set a budget and a stopping point.
Travel to Miami Gardens, New Orleans, or Las Vegas is a separate cost. A ticket guarantee covers the ticket, not flights or hotels.
What should I check before buying CFP tickets?
- Match the exact round and stadium. "Orange Bowl" and "Sugar Bowl" are semifinals this season; other bowls are quarterfinals or non-playoff games. Skip parking listings unless that is what you want.
- Read the seats shown. Check the section, row, quantity, and any view restriction. What you see is what you get. Real seats. Real sections. No phantom rows.
- Check delivery. Know how and when the tickets arrive. Our mobile ticket transfer guide covers accepting transfers.
- Compare the price shown before payment. On TixBit there are never fees for buyers. What you see is what you pay. That is not a claim that TixBit is always the lowest total. Match the same seats before you compare final totals.
TixBit listings are covered by the TixBit Guarantee. Browse all sports, events, performers, or venues for other games. For the conference title games that shape the bracket, see our SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC championship guide.
