NCAA College Football 26 launched worldwide on July 10, 2025.

Early access was also available to EA Play subscribers, who could try a timed trial during this period as well.
The game is available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and comes in several editions, each with its own perks:
Standard Edition:
Pre-ordering the Standard Edition provides several bonuses aimed at helping players get a head start in every major mode. These include:
CUT (College Ultimate Team) All Hands Pack — allows you to choose an extra item for College Ultimate Team.
Dynasty Coach Points — helps you begin Dynasty Mode with more options.
Road to Glory Skill Points — gives a boost at the start of your player career.
Deluxe Edition:
The Deluxe Edition offers even more significant incentives:
3-Day Early Access (July 7–10, 2025).
4,600 College Football Points for in-game purchases.
CUT Top Prospect Pack and All Hands Pack (with an extra one if pre-ordered by a set date).
Early Access Ultimate Team Solo Challenges.
