EA Sports has officially lifted the curtain on College Football 26 (Pre-order here) – and judging by the debut trailer, this is far more than a nostalgia play. Set for release on July 10, 2025, the sports game marks the triumphant return of college football to the digital gridiron, even beating Madden NFL 26 to launch.
The title boasts 136 fully licensed FBS teams, over 300 real-life coaches, and a jaw-dropping 10,000+ authentic college athletes. Each athlete features their own skill set and upgrade progression, allowing for deep personalization and strategy. With a newly built playbook containing 2,700+ plays, the gameplay promises to be as varied and unpredictable as a real NCAA season.
But College Football 26 isn’t just about stats and licenses, it’s about capturing the soul of the sport. Whether you’re standing in the snowstorm of Penn State’s White Out or caught in the crimson heat of a Tuscaloosa night game at Alabama, every stadium bursts with personality. Custom fight songs, regional music cues, and dynamic commentary help bring each game day experience to life.
A fully fleshed-out career mode allows players to rise through the college ranks and work their way toward the NFL Draft, while fans who grab the Deluxe Edition will enjoy three days of early access and exclusive digital bonuses to kick-start their journey.
