Do you like drawing up plays, yelling “touchdown!” at the screen, and debating whether to go full offence or hold the line with rock-solid defense? Then you’re in the right place – EA College Football 26 is a game where strategy matters just as much as reflexes and a sharp eye for talent!

EA Sports College Football 26 is a continuation of the game EA Sports College Football 25 launched in 2024. This installment premiered on July 10th, 2025, simultaneously on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. There is currently no official information on whether the game will also come to PC or other platforms.

Plot

EA Sports College Football 26 takes you to the heart of American college football – where legends are born, and every match could be the start of a championship journey.

You step into the shoes of a head coach, responsible for building your roster, developing a football program, and leading your team through fierce competition toward the national title. But this isn’t just about calling plays on the field – EA College Football 26 also puts you in charge of recruiting, stats analysis, and growing your team’s reputation across the NCAA landscape.

Gameplay

While EA College Football 26 shares some DNA of Madden NFL, it brings a different flavour to the table. Alongside dynamic on-field gameplay, this 2025 release leans heavily into strategy, simulation, and smart decision-making.

As a coach, you’ll manage practices, set tactical approaches, and make key choices in Career Mode that impact your team’s long-term success. Matches are built for realism – from individual plays to defensive formations, every move counts.

The game also shines with its near-photorealistic visuals and high-quality audio, immersing you in the excitement of college football. And just like other Electronic Arts / EA Sports titles, licensing plays a big role: over 10,000 real college athletes and 300 coaches are featured, adding authenticity to every match.

Whether you prefer single player campaigns or battling it out with friends, EA Sports College Football 26 has you covered. Enjoy online modes, co-op, PvP, and even shared screen multiplayer for that true couch rivalry experience.
