College Football 26 is here. Nearly a year after the game made its triumphant return in 2024, EA Sports is set to release a new edition of the video game. The college football videogame landscape was dormant for 11 years after legal actions around NIL forced EA Sports to shutter its NCAA Football operation.

EA Sports sent a cryptic tweet on Monday that hints at the revival of its college basketball video game franchise.

"In a memo sent to college conference offices from the College Licensing Company (CLC), dated June 26, 2025, CLC put out a request for proposal (RFP) to create a college basketball video game in November 2024. According to the memo, five companies expressed formal interest, and three filed formal bids.
