A new year of college football is arriving soon, and Electronic Arts has locked in a release date for EA College Football 26. Once again, though, the series is sticking to consoles.
EA College Football 26 will arrive on July 10 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, with a three-day early access period for Deluxe Edition pre-orders starting on July 7.
What’s missing is any PC platform, which its predecessor College Football 25 also skipped. Meanwhile, the Madden NFL series will still head to PC via Windows, Steam, and Epic with its upcoming entry Madden NFL 26, and a Switch 2 version is also in the works.
A full reveal for College Football 26 is planned for sometime in May. Meanwhile, pre-order incentives are already being revealed, which include a bevy of bonuses for both the upcoming CFB 26 and the current CFB 25.
