Family Friendly Gaming News
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(July 10, in the year of our Lord 2025)--
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and EA SPORTS™ today announced
the worldwide launch of EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 on
PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S, delivering their most
immersive and authentic college football experience to date.
Building on the momentum of last year’s return, College Football
26 invites players to Bring Glory Home through deeper gameplay,
expanded modes, and a powerful celebration of the sport’s most
iconic traditions.
Delivering deeper gameplay and greater control with over 2,800
new plays, thousands of current athletes, and more than 300 real
coaches with authentic schemes - players can forge their legacy
in two expanded modes. Rise from high school recruit to Heisman
legend in Road to Glory, or build a powerhouse program in
Dynasty Mode. With all 136 FBS schools represented, the game
surrounds players with the electrifying sights, sounds, and
traditions of college football — capturing the energy, emotion,
and pageantry of Saturday. Whether you're building your roster
or managing the moment, the path to glory is in your hands.
“The passion and energy of the college football community has
fueled us from the start, and that momentum continues to inspire
our team every single day,” said Daryl Holt, SVP and Group GM,
EA SPORTS. “College Football 26 builds on the success of last
year’s return and delivers a deeper, more authentic experience
across the board. We’ve refined gameplay, expanded modes, and
leaned even further into the sights, sounds, and traditions that
make Saturdays unforgettable—from pregame pageantry to improved
player progression, more than 2,800 new plays and 300+
real-world coaches. This game is a tribute to the sport, and to
the fans who make it what it is.”
College Football 26 delivers smarter systems, deeper immersion,
and a renewed focus on what makes the sport special — a
reflection of a game that continues to evolve its modes,
presentation, and commitment to authenticity with every snap.
True College Gameplay: Players have more control with over 2,800
new plays, enhanced offensive and defensive mechanics, and
smarter pre-snap tools. Dynamic substitutions, new stunts and
twists, and the expanded Wear and Tear system deepen strategy on
every snap. Whether you're calling plays in Play Now, competing
in Road to the College Football Playoff, or building your squad
in College Football Ultimate Team, every decision matters.
More Like Saturday: From the roar of the crowd to the pageantry
of pregame rituals, College Football 26 captures the emotion of
college football like never before. With all 136 FBS schools,
stadium-specific music, rivalry trophies, mascots, and dynamic
commentary, every game feels like a Saturday showdown.
Journey to Greatness: Two iconic modes offer distinct paths to
greatness. In Road to Glory, step into the life of a
student-athlete—begin in high school, earn your scholarship, and
make pivotal choices around playing time, academics, NIL, and
the transfer portal as you rise to Heisman glory. In Dynasty,
take control as head coach—build your staff, recruit based on
scheme and location, and lead your program through the
ever-evolving landscape of college football. Whether you're
chasing personal accolades in College Football Ultimate Team or
building a championship legacy in Road to the College Football
Playoff, every path is unique on the road to forging your
legacy.
This year, College Football 26 expands its musical lineup
through a new partnership with Metallica. As winners of the 2023
Metallica Marching Band Competition, the Auburn University
Marching Band recorded a new version of the EA SPORTS College
Football theme. The game also features over 60 newly recorded
tracks, including fight songs, rousers, and stadium anthems like
“Enter Sandman,” “Mr. Brightside,” and “Seven Nation Army” to
elevate the game day experience.
In addition, EA SPORTS™ and Spotify have partnered to launch The
Showdown—a six-part livestream series blending gaming and music
with top athletes and creators. The series debuted Monday, July
7, and featured Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive
back Travis Hunter, College Football 26 cover star and Alabama
wide receiver Ryan Williams, and EA SPORTS creator MMG. New
episodes will roll out throughout the fall.

Football 26 with the EA Play* 10-hour game trial, available now.
