No – when the Capital One Orange Bowl hosts a CFP Playoff matchup, that will be the only game played.

The Capital One Orange Bowl has hosted a Playoff Semifinal in the 2014-15, 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons. In 2024-25, the Capital One Orange Bowl will host a Playoff Semifinal game (Jan. 9, 2025), and it will host a Playoff Quarterfinal game in 2025-26 (Jan. 1, 2026). In addition, Miami/South Florida will host a CFP National Championship game on January 19, 2026.

The team with the highest seeding will be designated the home team.

The team emerging from the Allstate Sugar Bowl will occupy the south sideline and will have their team ticket allotment located in the NE quadrant.

The team emerging from the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl will occupy the north sideline and will have their team ticket allotment located in the NW quadrant.

The NFL has maintained its safety policy for all stadiums this year, which includes Hard Rock Stadium where the Capital One Orange Bowl will be played.  The safety policy affects the type and size of bags that are permitted into the stadium — not the items that fans normally need to bring to a game. Fans may continue to carry pocket items such as keys, makeup, combs, phones, wallets and credit cards.

Below are the approved bags fans may carry into the stadium:

• One bag that is clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and does not exceed 12” by 6” and 12” or a one-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
• In addition to one of the clear bags noted above, fans may also carry in a small clutch bag or purse approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap.
• An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at Gate E designated for this purpose.
• Diapers and wipes can be carried in a clear bag. Each member of a family, including children, will be able to carry an approved clear bag and a clutch purse, providing ample storage capacity.

Items such as smart phones, binoculars and cameras will still be permitted into the stadium. This policy is meant to speed up the process of entering the stadium along with increasing security measures.
