EA SPORTS is back with College Football 26, releasing July 10, 2025—offering a bigger, deeper Dynasty Mode and refined gameplay for today’s college football fans. Building on the success of CFB 25’s robust foundation, CFB 26 enhances the coaching experience across three pillars: Build Your Coach gets longer—early coordinators now have more meaningful decision paths leading up to a head coach role, with new performance and leadership dynamics. Build Your Program sharpens recruiting. Tailored pipelines, player expectations, and roster retention matter more—high school talent vs. portal recruits all have weighable trade-offs. Deliver the World of College Football expands significantly—136 teams included, historical records accessible, new awards, and full custom conference tools.

Gameplay sees a massive refresh: 2,800 new plays and 45 formations from 136 playbooks offer vast offensive diversity. Special attention to “four-minute offense” ensures clock management strategies shine in-game. Plus, deeper player control and team identity customization give you more tools to play your way. The sensory immersion is dialed up. Dynamic time-of-day lighting reflects real stadiums across quarters, adapting to location and season. Enhanced pageantry: mascots, light shows, runouts, and stadium traditions—complete with real coaches and band audio. Over 15,000 new commentary lines, focusing on rivalries, coaches, and storylines from the previous season. Uniforms fully refreshed, with continual updates: 25+ new helmet options added at launch.

First-time inclusion of real head coaches and coordinators—over 300 inclusions—adds authenticity. Player rosters benefit from an upgraded machine-learning pipeline for lifelike faces and animations. Import teams from CFB 25’s Team Builder—carry forward beloved custom setups. College Football History hub logs every champion, award winner, and start dating back to 1869. Planned future support means roster, uniform, and library updates continue after launch.
