The release dates for College Football 26 were officially announced today in a post on Twitter and on YouTube with an official trailer. CFB 26 is set to go live worldwide on July 10th. You can get early access by pre-ordering the MVP Bundle or the Deluxe Edition, which will give you 3-day early access starting on July 7th. It also appears CFB 26 will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Although it wasn't directly stated, it's probably safe to assume it will not be available on old-gen consoles.
Pre-order the MVP Bundle before April 29th to receive a choice between a 99 OVR WR or CB version of Travis Hunter in CFB 25. Both versions of Travis Hunter are already live in-game, and you should be able to claim the card of your choice shortly after purchasing the MVP Bundle. You will also receive a CFB25 Loyalty Fantasy Pack that contains your choice of 1 of 6 99 OVR Underdogs players. For more details about claiming your free 99 OVR Travis Hunter, click here.
