This season, Cinemark and ESPN are teaming up to host live viewings of ESPN’s coverage of the college football playoff semifinals and national championship.

The post-season schedule is as follows:
- Dec. 31 at 4 p.m. - Vrbo Fiesta Bowl: Michigan vs. TCU
- Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. - Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: Georgia vs. Ohio State
- Jan. 9 at 7:30 p.m. - National Championship: The winners of the previous two games will go head-to-head
All showings will include ESPN’s live pre-game studio programming.
“Cinemark is thrilled to once again offer college football fans an opportunity to watch this year’s most anticipated games in our immersive, shared environment, especially given the enthusiasm we saw in our theaters last year,” Fearing said.
