Every time you get a touchdown, first down, or an interception, you’ll have a brief moment to celebrate in College Football 25. At the time of writing, there are 28 celebrations in the game, 20 of which are touchdown celebrations.

College Football 25 is the new kid on the block, and it’s been over a decade since we’ve had a proper college football game. EA’s probably playing it cool for now, seeing how fans react before unleashing a whole carnival of new moves while the current celebration meta develops on its own.

For those looking to maximize their celebration opportunities, it pays to be strategic. The key is to avoid choosing the weakest teams and starting match-ups at a disadvantage. Also, mastering the best defensive and offensive playbooks can lead to more game-changing plays and, consequently, more chances to flaunt those carefully chosen celebrations.

Pulling off an epic touchdown dance or an interception celebration feels much sweeter when it’s done in one of the game’s largest, most iconic stadiums. The roar of a massive crowd adds an extra layer of excitement to every celebratory moment.

For me, winning in College Football 25 isn’t everything—winning in style is what truly matters. So, if you ever get me as an opponent, expect to see a team with the best uniforms in College Football 25 never skipping a celebration chance.
