The 2025 national championship game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish saw the Buckeyes defeat Notre Dame and win their ninth national championship and their first since 2014.
Watching this game was a Mercedes-Benz Stadium full of Buckeyes and Fighting Irish fans. However, among them were many celebrities.
Here is a look at the famous people who were seen at the 2025 national championship game.
Celebrities who were at the National Championship Game
LeBron James
LeBron James' presence at the game was highly featured on the TV broadcast. Despite having not played for the Ohio State Buckeyes (or even going to college in general), James was rooting for his home state team.
Bryce Harper
Baseball star Bryce Harper also supported the Buckeyes. As with LeBron, he didn't attend Ohio State University, but his connection is through his wife who played soccer for the school.
Joe Montana
Football Hall of Famer Joe Montana was at the game and wore a Guinness-branded sweater. The famous Irish drink gave fans a strong idea of whom he supported.
Montana played for the Fighting Irish in college and led the team to the national championship in 1977.
Chase Young
A former Ohio State Buckeye, Chase Young currently plays for the New Orleans Saints in the NFL. Young was one of the best defensive players in the country during the 2019 season, where he broke the Ohio State sack record. He would eventually be drafted as the No. 2 pick of the 2020 NFL draft.
Travis Scott
Rapper Travis Scott performed one song at halftime, his new hit '4x4' (which is also the new theme for WWE Raw).
Before the game, Scott wore a Texas Longhorns jersey (Scott's favorite team who was denied a spot in the game due to the Buckeyes) under his regular clothes.
