The reveal is also expected to spotlight Team Builder, which made its return last year to College Football 26 Coins much acclaim. It gave players the ability to create custom schools, uniforms, and stadiums, with sharing features that fueled a thriving community. With another year of development, EA could take customization to the next level with improved creation tools and new visual assets.

We’ll also be watching for upgrades to the CampusIQ system—EA’s AI engine designed to simulate authentic college football tactics and team behavior. While the feature was praised in College Football 25, there’s still room to make teams feel more reactive and adaptive. Smarter play calling, more realistic in-game decisions, and unique play styles based on real-world schools could elevate gameplay considerably.

The audio-visual presentation is another area where EA is expected to impress. Last year’s release delivered strong atmosphere with team chants, fight songs, unique mascots, and vibrant stadium crowds. In College Football 26, we’re likely to see even more detail packed into the game’s broadcast package, camera angles, halftime shows, and dynamic weather systems.

EA has already confirmed that College Football 26 will launch exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. As with the previous installment, there will be no PC release or support for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This narrowed focus allows EA to push graphical fidelity, load times, and overall performance without having to scale the game across lower-spec platforms.

Those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition will receive three-day Early Access beginning July 7. The Deluxe Edition is expected to include additional digital perks—likely cosmetic or experience-related bonuses. Additionally, the MVP Bundle is returning, bundling the Deluxe Editions of EA Sports College Football 26 and Madden NFL 26 together for $149.99. That digital-only package saves players $50 compared to buy CFB 26 Coins buying both titles individually.
