By Hunt Palmer

College football’s biggest game is headed back to The Big Easy.

The College Football Playoff title game will be held in the Caesars Superdome January 24, 2028, according to Brett McMurphy. LSU’s 42-25 win over Clemson in January of 2020 was the last time the city helped crown the national champion.
