EA College Football 26 release date, team and player rating schedule

Jeremiah Smith, Ryan Williams on cover of EA Sports College Football ’26

EA Sports chose Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith and Alabama’s Ryan Williams to be on the cover of College Football ’26. We talk to the athletes about what this moment means to them.

College Football 26 releases July 10, with early access starting July 7 for Deluxe and MVP Edition pre-orders.Several player ratings have been revealed, including Jeremiah Smith (99 overall) and Ryan Williams (97 overall).

College Football 26 is coming out soon, and EA Sports has been busy sharing details this past week with highly anticipated deep dives into Team Builder and Dynasty mode. The next big one that fans are dying to know: What are the player and team ratings?

We already know a few players’ ratings (well, we think). Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith was shown to be part of the 99 Club in the Dynasty deep dive on the Orlando-based video game company’s website. His fellow cover athlete, Alabama receiver Ryan Williams, was shown to be a 97 overall (though his Elusiveness was a maxed-out 99). And there were a couple others revealed in the deep dive, including Vanderbilt running back Sedrick Alexander (86), Georgia linebacker C.J. Allen (94) and Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer (94).

Last year for College Football 25, the team ratings came out fresh off the tail of EA Sports’ announcement of the 25 toughest places to play, which were released for CFB 26 on Tuesday, June 24. Player ratings waited until July 10, a week before the game’s release date. We are still waiting on one last deep dive into Road to Glory and its high school football component, so keep an eye out for updates.

Here’s what we do know so far about College Football 26, including its release date, prices, platforms and cross-play ability:
