After a long absence of over fifteen years, EA Sports has officially confirmed its comeback to the realm of college basketball video games. A fresh addition to the franchise is on the horizon, marking the first release since the NCAA Basketball ’10 back in 2009.
EA Sports has once again resurrected one of their franchises, this time being their college football series, which they reintroduced in 2024 as College Football 25. This game generated over $1 billion in earnings, so it’s no wonder that EA is looking to ride the wave of excitement and explore another revival in the realm of college sports.
In their announcement, EA hinted at reviving March Madness without offering any specifics, which is not unusual given their past practices. Similar to how they ignited excitement for their college football series by posting a teaser on social media initially, before disclosing further details later on.
Extra Points received a notice from the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) outlining their invitation for proposals to develop a fresh college basketball game. It seems Electronic Arts (EA) was selected as the preferred bidder from among three formal bids submitted. The CLC’s plan emphasized the integration of women’s basketball teams alongside men’s teams within the proposed game.
Bring the Madness. Let’s run it back. #CBB #ItsInTheGame

It’s highly unlikely that Electronic Arts (EA) will incorporate the NCAA branding in their upcoming college basketball game, as they have already ended their partnership for the football series. However, it’s important to note that nothing has been officially confirmed yet. EA and the NCAA discontinued their collaboration years ago due to several legal and financial issues.
To clarify, the most recent college basketball video game developed by EA was NCAA Basketball 10, released in 2009 and showcasing Blake Griffin from Oklahoma on its cover.
The EA NCAA football game for colleges, which had stopped production in 2013, was reintroduced as EA Sports College Football 25 in 2024. This game turned out to be the second-best selling game in the U.S. that year, with sales just behind those of the latest addition to Activision’s annual Call of Duty series. The game generated significant anticipation among fans.
The upcoming college basketball game developed by EA is currently without a specific launch date or specified platforms, as suggested in the notice. However, it’s expected that the first installment will be released in 2028. Be sure to check TopMob regularly for updates on this exciting development!
