EA Sports has long understood the importance of capturing the authentic game-day atmosphere. But last year, something was missing—one of the most iconic stadium songs in football history. Keeping that in mind, they’re now fully prepared to turn up the volume for College Football 26.
Yes, you read that right. With EA Sports College Football 26, that missing piece is finally back. Alongside this, a fresh take on drumlines and stadium soundtracks will transform how players experience the game. From Metallica’s legendary “Enter Sandman” to dynamic marching band renditions, this year’s soundtrack is bigger, louder, and more immersive than ever.
EA Sports CFB 26 Promises Immersive Stadium Feel With Revamped Soundtrack
When College Football 25 launched last year, fans quickly noticed the absence of “Enter Sandman,” the track that has been the Hokies’ entrance anthem since 2000. This was a big letdown for fans.
The good news is that Virginia Tech Athletics has confirmed the track’s return, ensuring its official inclusion in College Football 26. EA Sports made the announcement official on their Twitter page, exciting fans everywhere.

And that’s not all. This year’s game is going bigger. EA Sports is adding marching band covers of popular songs, mixing traditional fight tunes with modern hits. The devs designed this blend to evoke the authentic atmosphere of college football Saturdays and honor the distinct traditions of each school.

CFB 26 will also include 160 school-specific chants, new mascots, and even more band music to make things even better. Every stadium will feel more alive, louder, and more authentic. Even the music on the menu is getting a makeover, swapping out last year’s drumline-heavy tracks for high-energy marching band covers.
Fans are already excited about the game, even more than last year, as it prepares for launch on July 10. And now, the announcement of adding some of the most meaningful soundtracks has just raised the hype to the next level.
EA Sports ensures the real game-day energy moves perfectly into the virtual world. And for Virginia Tech fans, there’s no doubt what they’ll do first when the game drops. They simply head straight to Lane Stadium, fire up a matchup, and let “Enter Sandman” rock the screen once again.
