EA Sports College Football 26 could become one of the biggest sports game launches this year, and we have a fair idea about when the game is going to be available.
As usual, the College Football franchise is going to be exclusive for consoles (bad news, PC players). Those opting for the Digital Deluxe Edition will get to enjoy early access, so let’s take a look at when you’ll be able to join the party.
The upcoming title goes live on July 10, and this year, things are heating up slightly earlier. If you choose to spend extra and get the Digital Deluxe Edition, you can enjoy up to three days of early access that goes live on July 7.
The same privileges are also available if you choose to opt for the MVP bundle. The bundle includes the Digital Deluxe Editions of both College Football 26 and Madden NFL 26 at a discounted price of $149.99.
The following countdown is based on the release date for the Standard Edition. Once we have confirmation regarding the release date of the early access period, it will be added as a separate countdown on this article.
While EA Sports has yet to put out the exact release timing on social media or their website, the best indicator is the game’s official page. Irrespective of whether you opt to purchase for PlayStation or Xbox, the Standard Edition launches at the same time. Here are the launch times for different parts of the world.
| Time Zone | Release Time |
|---|---|
| PST | 8:30am |
| CST | 10:30am |
| EST | 11:30am |
| CEST | 5:30pm |
| IST | 9:00pm |
| BST | 4:30pm |
The following countdown is based on the potential release time applicable for the regions under the Chicago Standard Time.
While the game will be a console exclusive, there appears to be no plans for a regional release.
