On July 10, 2025, we can expect the launch of the next installment in the college football series, EA Sports College Football 26. Players who opt for the enhanced Deluxe Edition will gain early access from July 7. This announcement signifies that the release of EA Sports College Football 25 was not a one-off event, demonstrating EA’s dedication to delivering more collegiate sports action to fans.
Back in 1993, the well-known football team made its debut with video games titled “Bill Walsh College Football” for NES, Sega Genesis, and Sega CD systems. These early versions only had 24 college teams included. After the first two releases, Bill Walsh’s name was no longer part of the series, but it continued to produce 21 games in total, with a fresh game launched each year until 2013. Last summer, the franchise came back to life after a 12-year break, with the release of “EA Sports College Football 25.
According to updates on its official site, the upcoming game version is set to release in July for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Details about the new version’s features are scarce at present, but EA plans to unveil all the details in a full reveal scheduled for May. Simultaneously, EA has announced the launch date for Madden NFL 26 on August 14. Players can preorder the EA Sports MVP Bundle, which includes both College Football 26 and Madden NFL 26, priced at $149.99 until April 29. Both Standard and Deluxe editions of College Football 26 will be available for purchase.

In 2021, the comeback of College Football received mixed reactions from spectators despite twelve years of escalating excitement. While some were let down by the on-field action, others felt frustrated due to missing elements from previous games in the series such as Mascot Mode and the Road to Glory high school games that could lead to a player’s university scouting. Fans are advised to keep an eye out for next month’s presentation to gain insights into how Electronic Arts plans to improve this year’s edition of the game.
As of now, there’s been no mention about College Football 25 being available on the Nintendo Switch 2, PC, or older generation consoles. The build-up to Nintendo’s upcoming console release in July suggests that Madden games will be among the third-party titles for the Switch 2, and indeed, Madden NFL 26 has been confirmed for this list. However, College Football 26 appears to be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
