EA Sports has unveiled the athletes who will grace the covers of its newest college football title, confirming that the game will be available to players on July 9.
Cover Athletes and Their Stories
Curt Cignetti, the veteran coach turned standout player, will headline the Deluxe Edition, while Malachi Toney, Dante Moore and Kewan Lacy will share the standard cover, each bringing a distinct narrative to the spotlight.
Toney’s freshman season saw him reel in 109 passes, shattering Miami’s previous record, while Moore orchestrated a 3,565‑yard passing campaign that propelled Oregon into the College Football Playoff. Lacy, meanwhile, surged for 1,567 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns in his debut year with the Rebels.
Release Details and Market Impact
The standard edition is slated to drop on July 9 across all major platforms, a date that aligns with the company’s ambition to capture the heightened interest in college football following the record‑breaking sales of College Football 25.
Evan Dexter, EA’s Vice President of Franchise Strategy and Marketing, said the title is designed to mirror the modern era of the sport, blending deeper gameplay mechanics with a presentation that feels current and authentic.
Fans can look forward to a full reveal on June 4, where additional details about gameplay, features and the broader roster of cover athletes will be disclosed.
