EA Sports is set to launch College Football 27 on July 9, bringing the excitement of Saturday afternoons to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The new title will feature an all‑star broadcast crew, but it will look different from previous editions.
A fresh voice in the booth
Veteran analyst Joel Klatt, long known for his work on Fox Sports and his roots as a Colorado Buffaloes player, will step into the color commentator role, taking over from Kirk Herbstreit.
Klatt’s analytical style and deep‑cut insights promise to add a new dimension to the game’s virtual sidelines, while still honoring the tradition of college football storytelling.
Chris Fowler, the familiar play‑by‑play voice, will continue to guide the broadcast, ensuring continuity for fans who have followed his career across multiple platforms.
Behind the scenes
Holly Rowe, ESPN’s sideline reporter, will bring real‑time updates and on‑field observations to the virtual experience, enriching the overall presentation.
The collaboration between EA Sports, ESPN and Fox Sports underscores a broader partnership that aims to blend the worlds of gaming and mainstream sports broadcasting.
