How to make and manage live subs in College Football 26

Publish Date: July 8, 2025

One of the new additions to College Football 26 is the ability to make subs live on the field without having to pause and go into the depth chart. But you’ll want to make sure you not only know how to do this, but also how to manage it in-game.

Guide to live subs in College Football 26

In order to access live subs in College Football 26, you will simply press up on the direction pad (on Xbox) while you are at the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped.

This will show you your team’s Wear & Tear, and will allow you to sub players in and out. However, there are a few key things you should know before using this new feature.

  • When you make a sub, they will remain subbed in/out until you swap it back
  • You can press X (on Xbox) from the live subs screen to reset your starters, in case you forget who you had where
  • These subs are somewhat formation dependent, meaning that they will keep the player subbed in or out, unless a formation shift would override that or naturally swap players around (i.e., a 4-2-5 defense vs a 3-4 will have natural changes)

Once you get the hang of it, this is a great tool that can help you to prevent injuries and tune your team to your liking on the fly.
