The 2025-2026 college football season kicked off last week. If you want something to do while you wait for your favorite team to hit the field every week through the fall, I encourage you to check out EA Sports’ College Football 26, which is $49.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon on PS5 (disc) and Xbox Series X (disc or digital). This game builds on the stellar College Football 25, EA’s first college football game in over a decade.

In case you missed its big relaunch last year, EA’s back to making annual college football games now that it has a way to pay players who opt in to have their name, image, and likeness included. Athletes were paid $1,500 each to be in this year’s title, and were given a free copy.
