Celebrate, College Football fans, as you won't need to wait over a decade for a new game, since EA Sports has announced College Football 26 is coming in 2025!
While College Football 25 had its flaws, it's the best football game released in a very long time. The game struck the perfect balance between arcade and realistic gameplay, delivering an immersive and enjoyable gaming experience.
So, it's only natural that fans are excited about College Football 26, as they hope the game can build on its predecessor's success and deliver one of the best sports games ever.
College Football 26 Release Date
EA Sports has revealed that College Football 26 will be released on July 10. Similar to its predecessor, it will have a three-day early access, so players who pre-order the Deluxe Edition will be able to start playing on July 7.
College Football 26 Editions
There are two College Football 26 editions: Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition. The game is also included in the returning MVP Bundle, which contains the Deluxe Edition of both College Football 26 and Madden 26.
Both editions have different prices and pre-order perks, but they do release on the same platforms.
College Football 26 Standard Edition
The College Football 26 Standard Edition costs £59.99/$69.99 and is available for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
If you don't pre-order this edition, you will only receive the base game. However, pre-ordering the College Football 26 Standard Edition will get you the following perks:
- CUT All Hands Pack
- Dynasty Coach Points
- Road to Glory Skill Points
College Football 26 Deluxe Edition
The College Football 26 Deluxe Edition is a little bit more expensive, costing £89.99/$99.99, and is also available for both the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S.
It has many more, and considerably better, pre-order perks, with the three day early access being the highlight. Here are all the pre-order perks this edition offers:
- 3 Day Early Access (July 7-10)
- 4600 College Football Points
- Early Access Ultimate Team™ Solo Challenges
- CUT Top Prospect Pack (Pre Order before June 19th to receive this.)
- CUT All Hands Pack
- Dynasty Coach Points
- Road to Glory Skill Points
College Football 26 Platforms
When it comes to platforms, the game continues to be available only for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S. As expected, the title won't be coming to the old-gen, and Madden 26 followed in his footsteps, leaving the old-gen behind.
However, it's unfortunate that College Football 26 isn't releasing on PC. There is a huge player base on the platform that would be delighted with the chance to play it. Hopefully, the game comes to PC soon.
College Football 26 Cover Star
The College Football 26 has two cover stars, Ryan "Hollywood" Williams and Jeremiah Smith, who both grace the front of the College Football 26 Standard Edition cover.
Similar to last year, the Deluxe Edition has a unique cover. It also features Ryan "Hollywood" Williams and Jeremiah Smith, but it includes many other players, fans, coaches, refs, and even mascots.
