College Football 25 early access may start sooner than you think.
The full release of the highly-anticipated College Football 25 video game is just around the corner, and for those who pre-ordered certain editions of the game, the early access release is coming even sooner. Here's exactly when you can get your hands on the new game for both its early access and standard release.
When does College Football 25 Early Access begin?
The EA Sports website claims that early access for College Football 25 begins on July 16, however, when purchasing the game, many have claimed that they were prompted that early access begins on July 15 at 4 p.m. ET. This was also the case for this writer, who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition for Xbox. So, while the EA Sports website says July 16 is when the three-day early access window begins, it may actually be the case that fans can get their hands on the game a day earlier.
As a reminder, this early access window is available for players who pre-ordered either the Deluxe Edition or the MVP Bundle. The game's Standard Edition will be released a few days later. There are also some other perks that come along with those other pre-order options, including extra packs for your Ultimate Team and some in-game currency.
