A Wisconsin football spokesperson told Wisconsin Badgers on SI that offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel will also be in the game, "to our knowledge."

EA Sports dropped its full trailer for the game Thursday morning. Preorders are available now, and if fans purchase the deluxe edition of the game or EA Sports' MVP bundle that also includes Madden 26, they can play three days early.

Wisconsin will face two dynamic wide receivers that will grace the cover of EA Sports College Football 26 in Alabama's Ryan Williams and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith.
