How to use Team Builder in College Football 26

If you loved diving into Team Builder last year, then buckle up, because EA Sports College Football 26 is taking custom teams to a whole new level.

First off, Team Builder is no longer in Beta. The site’s been overhauled with a brand-new look, and we’ve been told it will run twice as fast. 

And even better, we’re no longer limited to 10 custom images. In CFB 26, you get a 5 megabyte upload cap per team, meaning you can use as many images and textures as you want within that provided limit. Want custom uniforms, logos, helmet textures, field art? Well now you can truly go wild with your craziest creations! 

For those of you that already built your dream team in College Football 25, you won’t have to start from scratch. You can actually import your old teams directly into College Football 26. All you have to do is hit the import button, choose your CFB25 team, make any updates, and then you’re good to go.

Now let’s talk dynasty integration. In CFB 26, you can define your program’s identity with custom “My School” grades. Pick from templates like Powerhouse, Pro Factory, or even Cupcake. Grades like Stadium Atmosphere adjust based on your setup, and your prestige. That all depends on who you replace and how you configure your coach and conference.

Roster editing got a massive upgrade too. You now have a dedicated tab for full control over your players, from names and appearances to archetypes, star ratings, and other interesting aspects.

You can set physical and mental abilities, including bronze to platinum tiers, and get this: if a player doesn’t meet the rating requirement for a tier, the system will prompt you to auto-adjust it. You’ll also see your team’s overall, offensive, and defensive ratings update live as you make changes.

For those of you looking to dominate your region in recruiting. Team Builder now lets you set your recruiting pipelines, choose where your school has influence, and assign tiers from 1 to 5. Whether you're locking down the state of Florida or building a pipeline to the Midwest, it’s all in your hands.

Additionally, you can now create up to five full rivalries per team, complete with history, series record, rivalry name, and even the score of the last matchup. These carry over right into Dynasty Mode, giving your custom team even more personality and legacy.

And for that perfect home-field vibe, you’ve now got three new generic stadiums and a high school stadium to choose from, all unbranded, all customizable.

I can’t wait to see all you campus kings and your custom teams out there on the gridiron! Class is in session!
