EA had their first stream of College Ultimate Team 26 tonight on Twitch where they revealed all of the content we can expect to find at launch, and a preview of 2 new programs, Names of the Game and Standouts, dropping on Tuesday, July 8th, and Wednesday, July 9th, respectively. EA revealed an all-new Twitch Campus Tokens Program for watching CUT content on Twitch this year, reviewed pre-order and crossover content, and showed Early Access and Season 1 content.
Check out a recap of everything covered in the stream below, including a preview of Names of the Game releasing on 7/8, and Standouts releasing on 7/9:
Twitch Campus Tokens
EA has announced a new Campus Tokens program that rewards players for watching select creators from the community, the CFB Rundown, special streams, and open directory weekends on Twitch. Watching CFB streams will reward Campus Tokens that can be redeemed in sets for various rewards in CUT 26, including a 99 OVR Michael Crabtree later in the year, which will cost 20 Super Tokens or 200 Campus Tokens (conversion rate is 10 Campus Tokens = 1 Super Token). EA has stated that a minimum of 250 Campus Tokens will be made available throughout the year. So, while you can miss a few streams during the year and still get Crabtree, you won't be able to miss too many.
For a breakdown of Campus Tokens or help getting set up, check out this video from UpAndAdam and set rewards below:
