Postseason Publishing Schedule
(updated Jan. 21, 2025)
With a 12-team College Football Playoff and extra games on the Notre Dame schedule, the Blue & Gold Illustrated calendar is as follows:
• Issue 44-14 (February cover date) mailed on Jan. 11. It included recaps of the three postseason games and previewed the championship game (Jan. 20). It was expedited as first-class to subscribers with seasonal-first class accounts.
• Issue 44-15 (March cover date) — Our monthly off-season publication schedule will resume with this Football Recruiting issue which will also contain a wrap-up of the CFP national championship week and game. This issue will be mailed on Thurs., Feb. 13.
Given the ongoing challenges with U.S. Postal Service delivery time frames, we urge you to take advantage of our digital edition for immediate access to our coverage — it is included with all subscriptions to Blue & Gold Illustrated magazine.
