EA Sports College Football 26 will have to face an uphill battle, considering how high its predecessor set the bar. College Football 25 became the best-selling sports game in U.S. History and saw over 700,000 gamers jump into the game on its first day of early access, marking an incredible milestone—especially considering offline players are not counted in this number.

Even though College Football 25 continues to thrive, some players already have a clear idea of the improvements they want to see in the next entry. As College Football 26 prepares to hit shelves this summer, more information about the game is likely to be revealed by EA Sports in the coming months.
