Here’s what time the College Football Playoff National Championship game actually kicks off

The College Football Playoff National Championship game is set to take place on Monday in Miami, featuring a matchup between the Miami Hurricanes, led by former University of Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, and Indiana, quarterbacked by Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, a transfer from Cal. The game is scheduled to kick off at 7:50 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium, following pregame activities. The event is notable for its high ticket prices, with the lowest available price being $3,652, making it one of the most expensive in college football history. The national anthem will be performed by Jamal Roberts, winner of Season 23 of American Idol, and "America the Beautiful" will be sung by the Florida Memorial University Ambassador Chorale. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
