EA Sports Launches College Football 26 Worldwide July 10

EA Sports is set to release College Football 26 worldwide on July 10, 2025, marking the second installment in the revived franchise and building on the success of College Football 25. The game introduces significant new features including over 2,700 plays tailored to college-style offenses and defenses, 300+ real coaches with authentic playbooks, enhanced realism, and the first-ever inclusion of head coaches such as Georgia's Kirby Smart running out with players. Players who purchase the Deluxe or MVP editions will gain three days of early access starting July 7, along with preloads beginning July 3, and the game supports cross-play across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for key modes like Online Dynasty. EA emphasizes presentation and immersion with detailed stadium recreations, such as Clemson’s Memorial Stadium, and continues to offer multiple editions including Standard, Deluxe, and MVP bundles, the latter also bundling Madden 26. Additionally, college athletes featured in the game will receive $1,500 each, a notable increase from previous player compensations, reflecting the evolving landscape of athlete earnings in college sports video games.
