Last year’s Capital One Orange Bowl featured No. 6 Tennessee of the SEC versus No. 7 Clemson of the ACC in the highest-ranked non-playoff Orange Bowl matchup in the CFP era. The Volunteers prevailed over the Tigers 31-14 behind an MVP performance from redshirt senior Joe Milton III, who threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns to help Tennessee cap off an 11-win season.
Looking to the future, the College Football Playoff (CFP) announced earlier this month the game dates and bowl assignments for the 2024 and 2025 college football seasons – the latest step in the transition to a 12-team playoff format set to begin in 2024. The Capital One Orange Bowl will host a Playoff Semifinal on Thursday, January 9, 2025 and a Playoff Quarterfinal on Thursday, January 1, 2026. Miami will also be home to the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, January 19, 2026 at Hard Rock Stadium.
Fans looking to secure exclusive access to tickets for the highly-anticipated expanded playoff format can do so by placing a deposit for this year’s Capital One Orange Bowl at orangebowl.org. This year’s purchasers will be among the first in line for tickets for the 2025 Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl.
