The winner of the game will advance to play in the 2026 CFP National Championship Game Monday, Jan. 19 at Miami&#8217;s Hard Rock Stadium.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nBoth teams moved on to this year&#8217;s CFP Semifinal round after winning their quarterfinal games earlier today. The Ducks are set to make their second CFP Semifinal after a 23\u20130 win over No. 4 Texas Tech in the Capital One Orange Bowl, while the Hoosiers secured the program&#8217;s first CFP Semifinal after defeating No. 9 Alabama 38-3 in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nIndiana will make its third trip to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Oregon is set to make its first-ever appearance in the game. The Hoosiers fell 22-27 to Tennessee in 1988 and 23-27 to Auburn in 1990.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThis year&#8217;s matchup will be the first game between two teams from the same conference in the Bowl&#8217;s 58-year history. It also represents the fifth meeting between Oregon and Indiana, but their first in the postseason. The series is currently tied 2-2 after the Hoosiers defeated the Ducks 30-20 in Eugene earlier this season on Oct. 11.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s only fitting a game of this magnitude be played here in the Capital of College Football,&#8221; said Gary Stokan, Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO and president. &#8220;This will be the perfect stage for the first-ever playoff meeting between these two programs as they both vie for the chance to make history with a berth in the CFP National Championship.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThis is the fourth time the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl has hosted a CFP Semifinal game, but its first in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff format. The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl previously hosted CFP Semifinals in 2016, 2019 and 2022 during the four-team College Football Playoff and hosted its first-ever CFP Quarterfinal Jan. 1, 2025.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl last hosted a CFP Semifinal game in 2022 when eventual National Champion No. 1 Georgia defeated No. 4 Ohio State 42-41. That game&#8217;s attendance of 79,330 set new Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and Mercedes-Benz Stadium records, surpassing the number of fans who attended Super Bowl LIII, the 2018 and 2025 CFP National Championship Games and the SEC Championship in the same venue.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nInitial ticket inventory for the 2026 College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl is sold out, marking the 26th time the Bowl has sold out in its last 29 games.
