Football season has come to a close both professional and collegiate, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still obsess over your favorite teams. Beginning today, February 19, 2026. EA Play members will get unlimited access to EA Sports College Football 26 (CFB 26).
The sophomore season for the resurrected College Football franchise joins the Play List as a permeant fixture for subscribers and not just a “limited time offering.” Currently, Madden NFL 26, the NFL equivalent is only on EA Play temporarily.

If you didn’t pick up CFB 26 during one of the holiday sales, now is the chance to chart your own Road to Glory or build you alma mater into a Dynasty. Additionally, for those who find more joy in CFB Ultimate Team, EA has also put together a significant loot haul for CUT players if they pick up the game before mid-March.
In our review of CFB 26, our critic said, “EA Sports College Football 26 is a step forward in the right direction and builds really well from where CFB 25 left off. There are plenty of quality of life additions from menus and UI to even more sliders and options for players for the various game modes. The gameplay is even better than previous years, offering more authenticity with added bells and whistles, no pun intended. There are still a few areas of improvement that can be made, but there is no sophomore slump for College Football 26. ”
What are Ultimate Team Rewards for CFB 26?
EA Sports is offering a “Supercharge Pack” for College Football Ultimate Team. Available to members until March 20, this pack includes ten players rated between 91 and 93 OVR. It’s a significant boost intended to help players catch up with the current meta as the game transitions to the subscription service.
The addition of College Football 26 follows closely on the heels of Madden NFL 26, which joined the Play List earlier this month. EA Play members can currently double-dip on rewards, as a separate Supercharge Pack is also available for Madden NFL 26 through February 28. Between the two titles, subscribers now have full access to the complete 2026 football cycle.
