EA Sports Aims to Release CFB Video Game in 2023, per Letter

After teasing the release of a new college football video game last February, EA Sports has reportedly narrowed down a release window for the much-anticipated project.

According to a Jan. 2021 proposal obtained by the newsletter Extra Points With Matt Brown, the company along with the Collegiate Licensing Corporation informed schools they aim to drop a CFB game sometime in July 2023. CLC management later sent a follow-up proposal to multiple D-I schools in Feb. of this year with an update confirming “game development is in full swing” and the “launch goal is still summer of 2023.”

While neither report included details of a specific date, EA Sports noted in last year’s proposal the targeted timeframe will allow for the “two-year game development window necessary for collecting game assets and developing game play to meet the current market demands for a unique college football game while following NCAA guidelines.”
