Draft Day Sports: Pro Football 26 is set to bring a deeper and more flexible take on football simulation, giving players new ways to shape their teams and guide their careers.
For the first time, the series lets players move beyond the general manager role. You can take over as a head coach, focus on strategy as a coordinator or specialize as a position coach, creating different paths to the top. Play analysis has also been upgraded with smarter calculations, cleaner displays and AI coaches who adjust playbooks during the season based on what’s working around the league.
The way games are viewed has taken a step forward too. A new stat rotator and player highlight ribbon keep the key moments front and center, while full-screen options like pan, zoom and ball tracking make following the action more engaging. League creation is more versatile, offering additional salary rules and tools to export and import configurations, so starting up a new league with custom settings is easier than before. Game planning also comes with expanded scenarios and options, giving players more control over how they prepare for each matchup.
Draft Day Sports: Pro Football 26 is available through FirstAccess at Wolverine Studios, though it doesn’t have an official release date yet. FirstAccess acts as a beta testing program, letting the community try out the game and provide feedback before its full launch. In return, players get a discount, a complimentary Steam key, and early access to beta builds as a thank-you for helping shape the game.
