EA Sports College Football 25 release date: Game returns mid-July after 11-year hiatus

EA Sports announced a July 19 release date for the upcoming College Football 25 on Thursday as the video game prepares to make a return after an 11-year hiatusMichigan running back Donovan Edwards, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, and Colorado athlete Travis Hunter are featured on the deluxe cover, which was leaked last week. 

The company says a more official cover announcement comes Friday. 

Last week, the deluxe edition of College Football 25 appeared in the PlayStation Store with the option for fans to wish list the game. That version’s cover art included Edwards, Ewers, Hunter, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck and Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins, as well as unnamed players from programs like Clemson, USC, and Notre Dame. 

Speaking of Ewers, his backup at Texas, Arch Manning, is not likely to appear in the game as he was not among the 10,000-plus players to opt-in for the game.

Players who opted in for College Football 25 receive $600 NIL checks, while several high-profile athletes landed more lucrative deals that include branding and trailer appearances for the title ahead of the game’s summer 2024 release.

In February EA Sports confirmed its revival of the college football video game series, which has been on ice since 2013, will release this summer. The company put out a hype trailer and released renderings of some in-game assets, including player models, mascots and stadiums.
