Jeopardy! National College Championship is a special tournament series of the quiz show Jeopardy! that aired on ABC from February 8 to 22, 2022.
Participants enter 12 quarterfinal games, with 2 games broadcast per episode. Winners of every game advance to the semifinals and eliminated players receive a $10,000 consolation prize. The 12 semifinalists are then split into 4 matches, with the top 3 scorers entering the finals. The bottom 7 semifinalists receive a prize of $20,000, whilst the 4th place receives a $35,000 prize and entry into the daily show's upcoming Second Chance Tournament later in 2022. The highest scorer of the 2-game final receives the 1st place prize of $250,000, and an entry into the Tournament of Champions, 2nd place receives $100,000 and 3rd place receives $50,000. Unlike the regular College Championship, there are no wild card spots for high-scorers among non-winners; it was "win or go home".
The 36 contestants were announced on February 2, 2022.
On August 11, 2021, it was announced that ABC had ordered the series with Mayim Bialik as the host and Mike Richards as the executive producer. Richards was dismissed and replaced by Michael Davies on August 31 of the same year. On December 2, 2021, it was announced that the series would premiere on February 8, 2022.
