Thursday, July 7th, 2022

Officials today announced that the 2022 College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl is sold out, representing the earliest sellout in the game’s 54-year history. The sellout breaks the previous record that was set in 2016 and represents the earliest sellout in the College Football Playoff era.

The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has now sold out 23 of its last 26 games.

“We’ve been saying this will be our ‘Record Season’ and that’s already coming to fruition with the earliest sellout in our history,” said Gary Stokan, Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO and president. “It’s a testament to the passion for college football that exists with the Atlanta fans and to the quality of games we are able to host on an annual basis. This year our ‘Record Season’ includes hosting five top-10-ranked teams between our two Chick-fil-A Kickoff Games to open the season and our College Football Playoff Semifinal Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl at the end.”

The College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick fil-A Peach Bowl will be played Saturday, Dec. 31 at either 4 p.m. or 8 p.m. ET. It will host either the No. 1 vs. No. 4 or the No. 2 vs. No. 3 teams in the country as assigned by the College Football Playoff selection committee. The game will be nationally telecast by ESPN.

The bowl’s two participating teams will be announced by the College Football Playoff selection committee on Dec. 4. Each participating school will be allocated its contractual ticket allotment following team announcements.

 

The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl last hosted a Semifinal in 2019 when eventual College Football Playoff National Champion No. 1 LSU defeated No. 4 Oklahoma 63-28. That game’s attendance of 78,347 set new Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Mercedes-Benz Stadium records, surpassing the number of fans who attended Super Bowl LIII, the 2018 CFP National Championship and the SEC Championship in the same venue.
