Ring in New Year with National Championship Festivities
Phoenix knows how to celebrate football, we’re all still hung over from our Super Bowl party. What a blast! Get ready for this New Year’s CFP National Championship festivities.
This New Year’s celebration in Phoenix, AZ will Include CFP National Championship festivities. Top bands will be putting on free concerts in downtown Phoenix. Teams and mascots will converge on the convention center. The celebration and electricity will last the whole weekend leading up to the big game. Expect fireworks. Really.
This extravaganza will be hosted by AT&T and much of it again occurs in the heart of downtown Phoenix. Help us close out this year’s college football season here, in sunny Phoenix, AZ with something for everybody:
- From Meet and Greets to Concerts
- From Face Painting to Carnival Food
- Family Friendly and Night Life Ready
- Good Old Cowboy Hoedowns and High-style, Flashy Uptown
The celebration will rival the one we put on for the Super Bowl of 2015. Dallas hosted the first College Football Championship last year, and the organizers looked to influences from the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four and the Olympics to create its own unique set of events. This is the first time an outdoor concert series will be part of the line-up.
The College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship will be held at Glendale’s University of Phoenix Stadium, Monday, Jan. 11, 2016, the site of the Fiesta Bowl and home to the Arizona Cardinals.
As of this writing, none of the teams have been set. So we can’t tell you that bit of juicy information. Instead we are going to tell you what we do know up to this point, as the tension begins to rise.
We want to be your ride to the celebrations and to the game.
Save yourself the headache. Tailgate in a party bus.

There are five events planned around the CFP National Championship. Begin your day at the Phoenix Convention Center for Playoff Fan Central . End your day at the AT&T Playoff Playlist Live with a free concert.
