EA Sports has officially revealed College Football 26, and if the debut trailer is anything to go by, this isn’t just a nostalgic throwback; it’s a passion project built with fans in mind. Set to launch on July 10, 2025, the game marks the long-awaited return of college football to the digital field, arriving even before Madden NFL 26 hits in August.
The game features a staggering 136 licensed FBS teams and over 300 real-life coaches, backed by more than 10,000 authentic college athletes. Each player comes with unique abilities and upgrade paths, bringing a deep layer of strategy and personalization to the gameplay. With over 2,700 newly designed plays, the playbook feels just as diverse and unpredictable as a real NCAA season.
EA is aiming for more than just realism; they’re chasing the soul of college football. Whether you’re experiencing a blizzard of white at Penn State’s White Out or basking in the crimson glow of Alabama’s Tuscaloosa nights, every stadium is packed with personality. Custom fight songs, region-specific music, and dynamic commentary ensure that each location feels alive. The game also includes a full career mode, giving players the chance to climb the ranks and earn their shot at the NFL Draft. Fans who opt for the Deluxe Edition will get three days of early access, along with a stack of digital extras to help kickstart their journey.
