The College Football 26 video game will be released on July 10 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and creator EA Sports already announced that college stars who opted in to use their names in the game would get paid more than double for doing so.

In College Football 26, schools get paid based on how often fans play as them, ushering in a groundbreaking NIL era.

EA Sports College Football 25 paid each athlete who opted into last year’s game $600 plus a free copy of the game. Compensation to individual athletes was exclusively managed by OneTeam Partners. More than 14,000 players opted into the game, with the actual likeness of more than 11,000 used, about 85 per team.
