EA Sports College Football 26: Release Date Set, PC Players Left Out Again

EA Sports has officially confirmed the release date for College Football 26, the much-anticipated follow-up to College Football 26 Coins last year's breakout sports title. Football fans have plenty to be excited about as the franchise continues its revival, but once again, the news comes with a disappointing caveat for PC gamers.

Set for release on July 10, 2025, EA Sports College Football 26 will be available exclusively on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Those who purchase the Deluxe Edition will gain three days of early access, starting on July 7, 2025. Despite high demand, the title will not launch on PC, maintaining the console-only approach that EA implemented with College Football 25.

No PC Version Again: EA’s Surprising Strategy

While Madden NFL continues to see annual releases on Windows, Steam, and Epic, College Football is still avoiding the PC market altogether. It’s a curious decision, especially considering how much success College Football 25 found last year across its available platforms.

Fans have speculated that licensing challenges, technical optimization issues, or even a strategic focus on console ecosystems could be behind the exclusion. EA has yet to give a direct explanation, but the pattern is clear: for now, College Football remains a console-exclusive experience.

Meanwhile, EA’s MVP Bundle strategy suggests the company is confident that console gamers will double down on their football fandom, even without expanding to NCAA Football 26 Coins PC.
