The 2025-2026 college football season kicked off last week. If you want something to do while you wait for your favorite team to hit the field every week through the fall, I encourage you to check out EA Sports’ College Football 26, which is $49.99 ($20 off) at Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon on PS5 (disc) and Xbox Series X (disc or digital). This game builds on the stellar College Football 25, EA’s first college football game in over a decade.

In case you missed its big relaunch last year, EA’s back to making annual college football games now that it has a way to pay players who opt in to have their name, image, and likeness included. Athletes were paid $1,500 each to be in this year’s title, and were given a free copy.

Some more Verge-approved deals

  • Anker’s compact Nano Travel Adapter in white or black is down to $19.99 at Amazon. It’s just small $5 discount, but this is something that’s worth jumping on if you’re planning international travel any time soon. Its slim design aside, I like that it has four ports (two USB-C, two USB-A), and support for Type A, I, G, and C plugs, which allows it to work in over 200 countries and regions, according to Anker. In terms of USB power, it’s on the slow side — best for when you want to charge gadgets overnight. For instance, one of the USB-C ports can deliver 20W to a device, or you’ll get 15W total when you’ve got two USB-C devices plugged in. Using all four ports will split 15W across devices.
  • Another inexpensive accessory that’d be great for travel, or even just for your daily commute, is Anker’s Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds that have active noise cancellation. They’re typically priced at around $79.99 at Amazon, but they recently dropped down to $44.99 in the white, blue, or black. This model can last 10 hours on a charge, and its wireless charging-supported case can fully recharge them five times, totaling 50 hours of playback. These also support multipoint, letting you connect to two devices at once via Bluetooth.
  • Lastly, there’s a solid deal happening Logitech’s G203 wired gaming mouse at Amazon, where the black version with RGB LED detailing costs $18.99. This half-price discount is great for PC gamers on a budget, as well as for others who want a comfortable mouse with some customizable buttons and lighting. In addition to its two main buttons, the G203 has two thumb buttons, a tactile scroll wheel, and a DPI switcher on its top to change pointer sensitivity. It’s nothing fancy, but you may find this sub-$20 mouse meets all (or at least most) of your criteria.
