Celebrations are a big part of the NCAA experience, and EA Sports College Football 26 has a long list of taunts and dances that players can perform when they score a touchdown. There are even taunts for other heated moments like interceptions or big first downs in College Football 26, and you can also perform a celebration run if you're home free on the way to the endzone.
The celebrations list remains mostly the same as last year's, but some revamped animations and lighting make EA Sports College Football 26's taunts look much better in motion this time around. All celebrations are incredibly easy to pull off — only requiring one or two buttons — but pulling off specific taunts takes some studying since you have to memorize the correct inputs. Here's all you need to know about taunts and celebrations in College Football 26.
Why College Football 26 Bringing Back Mascot Mode Would Be a Huge Deal
College Football 2026 could bring back Mascot Mode, and that could be a sign of good things to come for the revived franchise.
How to Do a Celebration Run in College Football 26
Before you reach the endzone for a proper taunt, you can perform a celebration run to show off on the way to scoring. To do a celebration run in College Football 26, just hold L2+R2+X on PlayStation or LT+RT+A on Xbox.
As long as you don't have any defenders harassing you, your player will pull off some flashy moves before they drive the ball into the endzone. This is required for some Ultimate Team challenges, so it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with celebration runs.
College Football 26 Celebrations List
Once you've scored, snagged an interception, or landed a big first down in College Football 26, you can perform a taunt or celebration. To do so, just flick the right stick on your controller in any direction. You can also use the shoulder buttons as modifiers, so holding down R1/L1/R2/L2 or RB/LB/RT/LT while flicking the stick will unlock even more animations.
