The deluxe edition cover also included rival Arizona State’s Sam Leavitt and Kenny Dillingham after their incredible 2024 run.

Although Wildcat players and coaches were omitted from the cover, fans can catch a quick glimpse of the team’s defense and famous celebration in the trailer.

Arizona’s turnover sword has been a symbol of the team’s defensive presence in recent years. It’s become a fun tradition for the defense after forcing a turnover to use the cactus-shaped sword to stab a flat football and show it to the fans.

The trailer offered a look into the second edition of the rebooted game and the new additions being implemented.

The new game will include over 300 college coaches to offer a fresh and distinctive team experience.

Road to Glory will return with EA offering 10 new archetypes for players to train from high school to college, and Dynasty mode will also return and allow for cross-play across Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5.

College Football 26 is available for pre-order and will be released on July 10, and those who purchase the deluxe edition will have access to the game on July 7.
