EA CFB 25 was one of the biggest game releases in the United States in 2024 and EA Sports is looking to repeat its success with this year’s successor.
EA CFB 26 is set to be released on Jul. 10, 2025, for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition can dive in up to three days early, starting on Jul. 7. It looks like the game is skipping PC and Switch 2 for the time being — unlike Madden NFL 26, which is set to arrive on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 alike on Aug. 14, 2025.
Players desiring the complete football experience can once again grab the MVP Bundle on PS5 or Xbox, which comes with both EA CFB 26 and Madden NFL 26. All editions are eligible for EA’s loyalty offer, meaning that owners of last year’s titles get discounts and extra goodies for their purchase. EA Play members can take advantage of the subscription’s purchase discount and will be able to access the usual trial period at launch without extra cost.
EA Sports will reveal the full scope of the game’s features in May, though the announcement trailer confirms the inclusion of high school football to expand the Road to Glory mode.
