EA Sports is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of College Football 25 by offering fans a preview through head-to-head streaming matchups on Twitch. Scheduled to kick off this weekend, the event promises exciting showdowns featuring athletes and celebrities controlling teams they have personal ties to or affinity for.
The lineup includes notable figures like LeBron James, who will be teaming up with his former high school football coach Frankie Walker in a stream starting Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. James, though never a college player, will lead Ohio State, a team he claims as his own due to its success in his home state.
Another highlight of the weekend is a matchup between former Heisman winners Michael Vick and Tim Tebow, alongside a face-off between Colorado teammates Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Both will be playing as the Colorado Buffaloes, a team EA Sports has rated highly at 87 overall, reflecting their optimism and hype around the team.
Beyond the star-studded matchups, EA Sports plans to showcase the game’s various modes, including a detailed walkthrough during the Arizona State vs. Florida State stream featuring Chad Walker and Ben Haumiller.
This segment will focus on Dynasty mode, which offers players the ability to build their coach, and program, and navigate the dynamic world of college football.
With the final build of the game set for release on July 19, this weekend’s streams provide a comprehensive preview just before launch, generating excitement among fans who have been eagerly awaiting the return of EA Sports’ college football series after an 11-year hiatus.
College Football 25 will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with early access granted to those who pre-order the deluxe edition starting July 16. The event not only offers entertainment but also serves as a strategic move by EA Sports to engage the community and build anticipation ahead of the game’s official release.
