College Football 26 Launch, Season Start Talks Advance

EA Sports will release College Football 26 on July 10, featuring enhanced gameplay, mass substitutions, over 2,800 new plays, and a College Football History feature for Dynasty Mode. At the same time, Division I conference leaders are discussing proposals to move the college football season start date up by one week for all teams, potentially creating a 12th week and an additional bye. The proposals coincide with the ongoing expansion of the College Football Playoff. The University of Utah's Spencer Fano is gaining attention as a top NFL prospect after earning All-American honors. Programs like Colorado are preparing for the 2025 season with quarterback competitions and roster changes after spring practice. These updates mark continued innovation and transition in both college football and its digital representation.
