EA Sports College Football 25 is due out in July according to ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit, who shared further details ahead of the game’s much-anticipated release. Herbstreit revealed the upcoming title features multiple broadcast crews for certain games. Former College GameDay host Chris Fowler already mentioned his involvement in the game.
“In the past, the same two or three people called every game. Now, I think there’s gonna be different broadcast booths for different types of games that you play in,” Herbstreit said this week during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
Bowl season will be also be featured in College Football 25 after the Pop-Tarts Bowl confirmed its inclusion Monday. College football reporter Matt Brown confirmed a few additional details., but it’s not yet known if bowl games will be complete with official logos, sponsor names and authentic venues.
“All the bowls are (in the game), as I understand it,” Brown reported.

Projections of the game’s top 10 players arrived earlier this spring, and like all video game-based ratings systems. There are a number of All-American candidates returning this fall who should appear in this year’s game as long as NIL contracts and the legalities are finalized.
A launch date for the title has not been revealed, but the full game trailer will be released in May, complete with screen shots and gameplay footage from the upcoming release.
The following information is from Brandon Marcello’s previous reporting of College Football 25: The game is built on the Madden engine, but fans should expect tweaks to game play, much like previous iterations of the NCAA Football franchise in the 2000s and 2010s. The game design, atmosphere and unique traditions for each school is primarily what EA Sports will lean into for the game. With that said, the game isn’t simply a reskin of the Madden game.
The playbook will be much more robust and team specific, too. Remember, the NCAA Football franchise (not Madden) was the first to introduce RPO plays in the 2013 version of the game. The team at EA Sports is taking great care in making sure the presentation is uniquely collegiate, which is why the team has spent so much time designing stadiums and implementing assets to differentiate game-day atmospheres from school to school.
What separated the NCAA Football and Madden franchises was the almost-romantic focus on the pageantry of college football traditions, and that will continue in the College Football franchise.
