The hype train for College Football 26 has officially left the station and is full steam ahead toward releasing on July 10, 2025. And that hype isn’t unearned or even surprising. The game’s predecessor, College Football 25, was a massive success, becoming the most sold sports game in the United States last year, as well as the second-most sold game of the year, regardless of genre. Even though EA has faced criticism for its other sports game offerings, College Football 25 seemed to be a breath of fresh air, boasted some really good mechanics, and revived a beloved series that was dormant for over a decade.
In the lead-up to the release of College Football 26, EA has shown off a plethora of tweaks it has made to the already-popular formula set by its predecessor, be it refinements to its Road to Glory mode or Ultimate Team. And it seems that most of these changes have been seen as improvements by the community. But there remains one big blemish — there is no PC version coming out. Instead, College Football 26 will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
