How to perform every celebration in College Football 26

Celebrations are a part of the fabric of college football

In total, there are 30 celebrations you can perform in College Football 26. However, not all 30 are accessible during every celebration window.

Some celebrations are reserved for specific actions on the field. For example, there is one interception that you can only use after getting an interception, while another is only usable after securing a first down. The majority of celebrations are reserved for touchdowns, though, so that's when you'll have the most freedom to showboat. After all, the mascots in CFB 26 aren't the only ones who can showcase some style out on the field.

You can see a full list of all 30 celebrations in CFB 26 below. They are grouped together by what action they follow (touchdown, first down, interception). You'll also see the button combinations to perform each celebration. All of this information is available by going to the CFB 26 main menu, scrolling to the "Profile" tab, and then viewing the celebrations from there. You can also see them during gameplay if you pause, but since pausing is limited online, you should keep this page open so you can easily stunt on your opponent in every way the game offers.

Half of the celebrations in College Football 26

As you can see from the celebration list, you'll be able to perform a wide variety of dances and other classic football showboat moves. However, if you want to pull off the Griddy like Justin Jefferson, you'll want to use the Tiger Swag celebration, which simply requires moving your right stick down after scoring a touchdown.

When to perform celebrations on the field

Now that you know every available celebration in CFB 26 and the button presses to perform them, you also need to know the right time to perform them. You're given a brief window to celebrate using the celebration you want, and after that window passes, you won't be able to use the celebration until the next big play you make.

To make sure you always get a celebration off, wait one second after you've scored a touchdown, gotten a first down, or picked off a pass. You'll generally see the camera pan directly to the player who made the play, and a "Celebrate" prompt will appear above the scoreboard. As soon as that prompt appears on the screen, you'll want to start pressing the right buttons for the celebration you want to perform.

If you don't see your player start celebrating right away, try hitting the buttons again. If all works accordingly, your player will celebrate using the option you selected. However, if you wait too long or pull the trigger on the celebration too early, you'll simply see the same old cutscene with the players all celebrating as a team.
