College Football 26 - Season 8

Welcome to Season 8! As the offseason rolls on towards the Draft, there’s plenty of content to help you build your team before (and after) the big night.. Prep, predict, and watch on Draft Night to see where your favorite players land on their journey. Check out events like Gone Pro for former college stars that turned into football legends, simulate alternate versions of college football’s biggest moments in What If?, and look for another round of Game Changers.

EVENTS

GONE PRO

This all-new Draft-themed event reacts to real-life Draft outcomes, highlighting big picks and major storylines. Log in for an upgradeable (to 99 OVR) Isaiah Wadsworth, collect Locker Packs that will open with new Draft Pick player items on May 1. 

You’ll also get Forecast Tokens when you log in that can be used to complete Sets to predict if an Offensive or Defensive player will be selected in each 1st Round Draft Slot. After the Draft, each correct guess will earn Gone Pro Field Pass XP.

WHAT IF?

Re-imagine some of college football's biggest players, teams, and events. Turn the sport's history on its head and transform “what could have been” into lineup-enhancing rewards. Look for players with completely different positions listed and Challenges centered around players who stayed at their original schools rather than transferring.

GAME CHANGERS

Celebrate even more throwback legends and standout performers who redefined the game with new player items that can be equipped with top-tier abilities and make an immediate impact on your lineup. These new items feature distinct throwback art and represent some of the most memorable and influential figures in college football history. Game Changers player items will feature stronger abilities than most other items, but they’ll need to be unlocked with training at a high tier.
