Sports video games fans rejoice! EA Sports is bringing back its college basketball series. Here's what we know so far.

"In a memo sent to college conference offices from the College Licensing Company (CLC), dated June 26, 2025, CLC put out a request for proposal (RFP) to create a college basketball video game in November 2024. According to the memo, five companies expressed formal interest, and three filed formal bids.

The revival follows the massive success of College Football 25, which became the best-selling sports game of all time. With NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals now enabling player compensation, EA has the green light to bring back college hoops with real athletes and authentic branding.
