College football fans were starved for a licensed video game for over a decade, but now, the release of EA Sports College Football is an annual tradition.

The latest installment, EA Sports College Football 27, releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 9, 2026 and will be the third launch since the game resurrected in the summer of 2024. In addition to new rosters, this coming release introduces Mascot Mashup mode (reviving a popular feature from the classic NCAA titles in the 2000s and 2010s), which features 120 playable mascots.

For Conference USA, seven of the 10 teams have playable mascots in Mascot Mashup mode:

• Delaware — YoUDee
• Florida International — Roary
• Kennesaw State — Scrappy
• Liberty — Sparky
• Middle Tennessee — Lightning
• Missouri State — Boomer
• Western Kentucky — Big Red

As for the rest of the CUSA, each team’s rating is listed below, along with the highest-rated players in the conference, and the highest-rated players for each team.

Team Ratings​

Team	Overall	Offense	Defense
Jacksonville State	76	76	77
Liberty	76	77	76
Delaware	75	77	73
Kennesaw State	75	73	76
Florida International	73	73	75
New Mexico State	73	71	76
Western Kentucky	73	75	71
Middle Tennessee	72	73	72
Missouri State	72	73	72
Sam Houston	71	72	71

Jacksonville State and Liberty share the highest rating of the CUSA teams at 76 overall. Jax State has hosted the conference championship in two consecutive years, claiming the title in 2024 and falling less than a minute short of a repeat in 2025. Prior to Jax State, Liberty was the last CUSA team to host the conference title game in 2023. Both teams retained their head coach and starting quarterbacks from 2025 to 2026. The Flames are fresh off their first losing season since joining the FBS in 2018, aiming for a bounce-back this coming fall.

Sam Houston is the lowest-rated CUSA team in the game at 71 overall. The Bearkats are fresh off a 2-10 finish where they collected their first win in November. Sam Houston eyes a season of increased stability in 2026 as head coach Phil Longo enters year two at the helm, and the Bearkats (which played in downtown Houston in 2025) will return home to Bowers Stadium which recently finished construction.

The CUSA is a tight-knit conference in terms of ratings in EA Sports CFB 27. All 10 teams lie within the 71-76 overall range.
