College Football 26 is better than last year, but it's a sophomore season that's more focused on steady improvement rather than breakout success.
One of the reasons for its best-in-class performance is that while Ultimate Team is here, and sound, other modes – and those rivalries! – are given the space to outshine it.
College Football 26 didn’t throw out the playbook from its first year back, but it didn’t need to. Instead, iterative improvements and quality-of-life adjustments build upon an already strong foundation.
EA Sports College Football 26 builds on its solid foundations and celebrates what makes the college experience and its teams so unique.

EA Sports College Football 26 is the second game in the revival of the franchise. After a solid debut, CFB 26 adds more to the mix with big improvements to neglected modes and presentation.
Despite my shaky feelings on some of the core modes, College Football 26 is a marked improvement over College Football 25. I got a lot out of the smaller changes, like the new Dynamic Substitutions and supplementary Dynasty features. It’s yet to be seen if this franchise will fall into the cynical rinse and repeat pattern that Madden has been on for several years now, but for the time being, it’s more CFB goodness.
While marred by repetitive commentary and a smattering of intrusive bugs, the foundation here is rock-solid. For fans of college football, it’s an essential purchase. It’s still not a flawless champion just yet, but its potential to build a long-lasting dynasty is undeniable.
College Football 26 continues to impress.
So, EA Sports College Football 26 is better than last year albeit demonstrating its superiority in a measurement of inches rather than miles. That said, the raft of incremental improvements, massive amount of content to stuck into which when married with EA's reliably all-star, blockbuster presentation which succeeds in emulating the audiovisual sensation of the real-life spectacle mean that EA Sports College Football 26 remains an essential purchase for those looking to hit digital college gridiron.

EA Sports College Football 26 is like being in the stands among the fans of your favourite team, living the traditions and experiencing the explosive gameplay as if you were actually there.
College Football 26, from developer EA Orlando, is a marvelous football experience that picks up where the series left off last year and the years prior. It brings a good personality, refined gameplay that feels optimized and natural on offense and defense, and plenty of modes to keep college football fanatics happy. The only real hiccup in the game is teammate reaction and intelligence. It’s lacking and needs some improvement.
An Audio and Visual Upgrade but some parts fall flat, This is the nature of yearly sport games unfortunately. But the ability to play from High School all the way to the NFL is a reason I would get both College Football & Madden this year.
If you're a college football fan, this year's EA offering is a no-brainer. Even for newcomers, it's worth checking out thanks to the impressive customization and depth packed into the game. Coaches now have realistic counterparts, while new archetypes and a revamped transfer portal add meaningful layers to Dynasty mode. There are some hiccups, like persistent online lag, but overall, the series is clearly on a winning trajectory.
As predicted, College Football '25 would rightly become the best selling sport game of all time, with only Call of Duty outselling it last year, period. Amazingly, this year's version is better in every way. Execution, presentation, immersion and depth go the next level on its second lap. The best amazingly just got best-ter. If you've got a PS5 Pro, College Football '26 is the game designed for it .
EA Sports College Football 26 is a nice evolution of last year's already excellent title, adding even more quality to the gameplay and spectacle off the field to continue being one of the best sports titles today.

A strong follow-up to College Football 25 with smarter AI, deeper modes, and the best game-day feel in any football sim. Minor issues don't outweigh major improvements.
Football 26 is a sequel that improves every detail of the previous chapter without distorting its essence; a simulation that is a journey at heart of college football, designed especially for those who love the single-player experience: a bold choice in a world dominated by multiplayer. Deeper than Madden, more exciting, and above all, more authentic.
