EA Sports is bringing back a college basketball video game, much to the delight of fans far and wide!
Last year, the popular video game company officially re-introduced the highly anticipated college football video game. After a smashing success, the game is set for its next installment under the “College Football 26” label.
However, EA Sports confirmed on Monday that a new college basketball game is in the works with a teaser post on social media. Here’s what it looked like:

— EA SPORTS (@EASPORTS) June 30, 2025Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit with the game still in the early stages. According to college sports reporter Matt Brown, the game is targeting a 2028 release date.
Brown also reported that the game, previously identified as “NCAA Basketball,” will be identified as “EA Sports College Basketball,” following a similar model as the new college football game. It is also reported that women’s basketball programs will be included in the new version.
FWIW, it also won't be called NCAA Basketball. The working title mentioned in the paperwork I inspected was "EA Sports College Basketball". The NCAA will participate as a licensing partner but will not be in the title of the game. t.co/OlW2Xjhk8V

Fan reaction
To no surprise, fans were overjoyed at another college sports offering getting reintroduced to the video game market. Here is a sampling of how fans and media alike reacted to the news:
