If you're trying to make College Football 26 Ultimate Team (CFB 26) coins fast, there are a couple of simple methods you can start using right away. These are easy, effective, and don't require you to spend any real money. You can start doing them even if you're beginning, especially if you're in early access and have played a few games.

The first method is super basic but works well. You go into the General Offers section of the in-game store and buy the Team Pack. It's not the offensive or defensive playbook pack — it's the one simply called “Team Pack.” It costs 5,250 coins, which is very affordable. You should be able to buy two or three of these right now, no matter how new you are to the game.

When you open this pack, you get a few items: a playbook, a stadium, and a jersey. Sometimes you'll get lucky and pull high-value uniforms like the Ohio State jerseys, which can sell for around 8K or more. Other times, the playbook you get might go for 6K, the stadium for 1.5K to 2K, and the jersey for around 1K or so. That adds up quickly. If everything sells, you're making double the coin value from what you spent on the pack. And if something doesn't sell, you can still quick-sell it for decent value.

This method is repeatable. As long as you've got the coins to invest, you can buy the Team Pack, list the items, and profit. Of course, not every pack will be amazing. You might pull a playbook that only sells for 2K or 3K sometimes, but overall, it averages out well, especially with occasional high-end pulls.

One thing to keep in mind is that items won't always sell instantly. You'll need a little bit of patience. The Auction House is active, but sometimes your stadium or playbook might sit there for an hour or two before someone picks it up. While you're waiting for those things to sell, there's a second method you should use to keep the coin flow going.

The second coin-making method is all about grinding solo challenges — specifically, the “What's Your Offense” and “What's Your Defense” solo challenge sequences. These are straightforward and don't take long to finish. Each time you complete a sequence, you're given a playbook of your choice as a reward. Those playbooks can be sold on the Auction House for at least 3K each. Most go for more, depending on demand.

There are eight of these sequences in total, and if each playbook sells for a minimum of 3K, that's 24K coins right there. And that doesn't even include the other rewards you get for completing each challenge, like bonus coins, free players, and even non-sellable playbooks for your team. If you finish everything in both the offense and defense sets, you're looking at somewhere around 40K–50K coins worth of value when everything is accounted for.

So the best way to make coins fast right now is to combine both methods. Spend a bit of your coins ripping a few Team Packs, throw everything you get up on the Auction House, and while you wait for those to sell, start grinding the solo challenges. By the time you finish the solos, some of your items will have sold, and you'll be sitting on a nice chunk of coins.

If you repeat this process consistently for a few hours, there's no reason you couldn't walk away with 100K, 200K, maybe even more. And you don't need to be great at the game to do this. Just be efficient, be patient, and keep reinvesting your profits.

Early in the game cycle is the best time to do this because item prices are still high, and players are eager to build their teams. As the market floods and prices drop, this method won't be as effective, but for now, it's one of the easiest ways to build your coin balance without paying for bundles or points.

One last thing — the gameplay in CFB 26 itself feels noticeably better than in last year's game. Even just from playing one solo challenge, the improvements are clear. Movements are smoother, RT responsiveness feels tighter, and overall mechanics like audibles and pre-snap adjustments are more fluid. Even if your team is weak right now and players feel a little slower, the game itself runs better than CFB 25.

So if you're just getting into Ultimate Team in CFB 26 and want to build up your squad without spending cash, this is the best approach to take right now. Ripping Team Packs and selling the contents, grinding solos for sellable playbooks — it's a proven way to stack coins quickly. Just be consistent and patient with your listings.

That's pretty much it. Give it a try, and see how much you can make in a night. Some people are pulling uniforms and playbooks that sell for crazy prices — it's worth your time.
