Axis Football 2026 Targets the End Zone on Nintendo Switch, PC September 8

Immersive sports simulator enters tenth edition with deeper control and real-time feedback

Rock Hill, SC – August 5, 2025 – Axis Football 2026, the complete American Football game and franchise simulator from developer Axis Games and publisher Upside Down Bird, crafts the ultimate playbook on Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation on Monday, Sept. 8, 2025 for $19.99 USD.

It’s 4th-and-1 and with an entire legacy on the line. Step onto the turf with beautifully upgraded graphics and lighting to compete in the grueling gauntlet of simulation football, and manage the minutiae of decades-long dynasties in the industry’s most robust Franchise Mode. Dive into the details both on and off the field: master a flawless two-minute offense, design audible packages to counter defensive schemes, and execute offseason moves to lock in long-term success for years to come.

Play, coach, spectate, and simulate games with more than 30 American football teams in single-player and local two-player modes. Lob passes into fingertip catch opportunities, fire a spiral between the numbers, and stiff-arm a path to the end zone with precision as Axis Football 2026’s addition of User Action Indicators adds more immersion than ever before.

Call and execute 1,000+ plays using 75+ modern formations, rebuilt from the ground up in the biggest Axis Football offensive overhaul yet featuring new block-and-release routes and all new handoff animations. Tailor a playbook to capitalize on star players, or draw up a custom set of X’s and O’s with the new Play Editor.

Listen to a beautiful game with the completely redesigned announcing system that features fluid play-by-play calling, a massive array of content to cover all the action on the field, and a deep database of names to make the game sound better than ever!

Take full control of the team’s future, choosing the league style, conference divisions, rosters, funding, drafting, and more. Manage draft picks, salary caps, trades, and retirements to keep the team healthy while monitoring morale level. Set league records at the risk of overuse injuries, or simultaneously nurse a lead and player health with conservative playstyles. Build customized team names, uniforms, logos, end zones, and stadiums with merchandise-worthy branding!

“Axis Football 2026 builds upon the previous iterations in the franchise by strengthening the player’s control over every play,” said Danny Jugan, Founder and CEO at Axis Games. “By integrating real-time feedback and boosts for catching, tackling, breaking tackles, and more, 2026 will be the most immersive Axis Football yet!”

Axis Football 2026 kicks off the season on Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation on Monday, September 8, 2025, for $19.99 USD.
