EA Sports has confirmed the release dates of both College Football 26 and Madden NFL 26.
As previously leaked earlier this week, Madden NFL 26 is set to release on August 14, with a Deluxe Edition offering up to three days early access starting on August 11.
College Football 26, meanwhile, will release before it on July 10, with a Deluxe Edition also offering three days early access starting on July 7.
Players can also pre-order an MVP Bundle which contains the Deluxe Editions of both games, along with a bundle-exclusive Elite Player Item for both games’ Ultimate Team modes.
Players who pre-order the MVP Bundle before April 29 will also get a 99-rated Travis Hunter in Ultimate Team for both College Football 25 and Madden NFL 25.
