The Gamecock coaches’ involvements in the game follow South Carolina star pass rusher Dylan Stewart making the cover of the Deluxe Edition of CFB26.
Sources have also told GamecockCentral’s Mike Uva that a couple of other USC-centered changes are coming. Per Uva, game developers have included the full “2001” entrance, something that was completely absent previously. Also, the 2026 version of the game includes updated and accurate towels. During the pre-kickoff “Sandstorm,” Williams-Brice Stadium’s rally towels were black instead of white; that has been remedied.
Over the next month, EA Sports will share more College Football 26 news. Fans can preorder the game now ahead of its July 10th release. Preorderers will receive early access on July 7th.
