Beaver Stadium is not a fun place for real-life visiting teams to deal with on college football Saturdays. And, according to EA Sports College Football 26’s top 25 toughest places to play rankings, the home of Penn State football will not treat road teams kindly in the video game world, either.

As EA continues to roll out previews of its second college football game in as many years following a long break, it released its toughest places to play rundown on Tuesday. Beaver Stadium checks in at No. 2, behind only Texas A&M’s Kyle Field.

It’s a bit of a bump for the 107,000-seat venue after debuting at No. 6 in the same top 25 at this time a year ago.

College Football ’26 hits gaming consoles July 10, although those who preorder their copy early can play three days earlier. Penn State running back Nick Singleton is on the Deluxe Edition cover. So is head coach James Franklin. The latter will be appearing in the game for the first time in 2025. EA elected not to include head coaches in last year’s version. But, it will do so this time around.

Beyond that, details have not yet been released related to player ratings, which freshmen might be in the game, and what else might be new involving Penn State. More details will come out in the days leading up to the game’s launch.

Beaver Stadium construction continues

In real life, a $700 million renovation project that started with some upgrades in 2024 before the press box felling in early 2025 fully kicked things off will continue through 2027. Temporary seating is being installed now to ensure the capacity stays at or as close to what it has been for years to create one of college football’s most unique environments, be it for the White Out, which will be held when Oregon visits on Sept. 27, or one of the team’s other home game weekends.
