EA Sports plans to revive college hoops title in ‘28

EA Sports teased the return of its college basketball video game series in a social media post Monday.

“Bring the Madness. Let’s run it back,” the post read, along with a close-up shot of a video game basketball with the EA Sports logo emblazoned on it.

The teaser came just hours after the website Extra Points reported on the series’ potential return.

EA Sports last published a college basketball video game in 2009 with “NCAA Basketball 10.” It was discontinued due to a lack of sales and, shortly thereafter, the company’s college football series was halted as a byproduct of legal action over the use of unpaid players’ likenesses in the game.

In the era of name, image and likeness (NIL) rights, college football returned to the video game world in EA Sports’ “College Football 25,” leaving many fans to wonder whether basketball would get a similar revival.

Extra Points obtained a memo dated June 26, 2025 that revealed the College Licensing Company (CLC) had put out a request for proposal for a college basketball video game last year. Five companies expressed interest and three filed bids, but CLC chose EA Sports’ proposal.

The proposal said 2028 was the target date for the first game to be released.
