EA Sports College Football 26 Season 4 Launches With Ranksgiving, Blue Chip, and Heisman Rewards New events, expanded rewards, and 23 new Ultimate Team player items headline College Football 26’s most competitive season yet
With bowl season and the College Football Playoff fast approaching, EA Sports College Football 26 is raising the stakes for every player and program.
Season 4 introduces two brand-new events — Ranksgiving and Blue Chip — alongside a reworked Field Pass that offers coins, trophies, exclusive uniforms, and a Heisman Token at level 50. That token will unlock a 94 OVR Heisman winner in Season 5 once the real-life award is announced in December.
