The release of EA Sports College Football 25 is eagerly anticipated by fans in the upcoming 2024 college football preseason. After over a decade of absence from the market, this video game is set to return, providing an authentic gaming experience with 85-man rosters for all 134 FBS football teams. Electronic Arts has surpassed its initial goal of including 10,000 athletes in the game by gathering over 14,000 players who have opted into it.

EA Sports has partnered with OneTeam Partners to manage licensing rights for college and professional athletes, facilitating NIL rights agreements between college football players and the game. Athletes participating in the game will receive $600 each along with a copy of the game. This marks a significant step forward for EA Sports College Football 25, which was discontinued in 2013 following a court ruling that required compensation for athletes who had been included in the game without payment.

With new NIL rules introduced two years ago, EA Sports announced the return of the game to the delight of fans. The anticipation and excitement surrounding the game’s impending release have been building steadily, and now the future is closer than ever before. Stay tuned for more college football updates and news, including top 25 rankings, schedules, and team updates from College Football HQ.
