CFB 26 Adds The Internet's Favorite Mascot, The Pop-Tart

Alongside the toaster pastry, EA Sports' next college football game is getting a ton of new marching band, mascot, and rivalry content

The tasty (but somewhat macabre) mascot aside, EA is also expanding the school mascots that'll appear in the game. Over 30 new mascots are being added, bringing more realistic school spirit for universities like Army, Navy, Kansas, Colorado State, and others.

Other aspects of school traditions are also being enhanced. EA is recreating band formations, light shows, drone shows, and different types of run-outs for some universities, adding additional showmanship and pageantry to games. More of college football's large array of rivalry trophies will be represented in CFB 26, too.

CFB 26 launches on July 10, but people who preorder special editions of the game can get access three days early. Check out our preorder guide for more on the different versions of the game. EA is likely hoping that CFB 26 can replicate its predecessor's success; CFB 25 was wildly popular and produced over $1 billion in revenue for the company.
