The 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship was a college football bowl game played on January 7, 2019, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The fifth College Football Playoff National Championship, the game determined a national champion in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision for the 2018 season. It was the final game of the 2018-19 College Football Playoff (CFP) and, aside from any all-star games that followed, was the culminating game of the 2018–19 bowl season.[5] Sponsored by telecommunications company AT&T, the game was officially known as the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T.[2]
The Clemson Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 44–16 to win the championship with an undefeated 15–0 record. Clemson became the first such undefeated team in the CFP era to win the title, and the first[a] to finish 15–0 in a single season since the 1897 Penn Quakers.[6][7] The 28-point loss was the largest margin of defeat for Alabama during the Nick Saban era (since 2007)[8] and since Alabama's 31-point loss in the 1998 Music City Bowl.[9]
