EA Sports College Football 26 Adds Marching Band Covers From Sabrina Carpenter, Paramore, and More

The soundtrack of EA Sports College Football 26 continues to embrace the spirit of college football with the release of Halftime Volume 2, a new set of marching band covers that reimagine popular hits from some of today’s biggest artists.

🎶 Marching Band Covers Return

Earlier this year, EA Sports introduced fans to Halftime Volume 1, a 16-track album of marching band reworks featuring hits like Miley Cyrus’ Flowers, The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights, and Post Malone’s Better Now.

Now, Halftime Volume 2 expands the soundtrack even further with ten new tracks, blending pop, rock, and hip-hop through the energy of college marching bands.

🏈 Soundtrack Inspired by College Football Tradition

According to EA, the goal was to capture the unique energy of college marching bands that fuel stadium atmospheres every Saturday:

“For every ‘Notre Dame Victory March’ or ‘Buckeye Battle Cry’, college football fans leap from their seats for the other fight songs: unique interpretations of current hits are the sound of college football fandom at its most exciting and original.”

The project brought together top musicians from university ensembles alongside contributions from the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, ensuring each track delivers the authenticity and energy of a live halftime show.

📈 A Hit Game Gets Even Bigger

Launched in July 2025, EA Sports College Football 26 has already sold over 3 million copies, marking a strong return for the franchise. With Halftime Volume 2, the soundtrack continues to evolve as one of the most creative features in modern sports gaming.

✅ Final Thoughts

From Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso to Paramore’s Misery Business, the addition of marching band covers makes EA Sports College Football 26 feel even more connected to the culture of college football. These reimagined songs aren’t just background music—they’re an extension of the gameday experience.
