CFB 27 Celebrations: Complete List of All 49 Animations

EA Sports College Football 27 ships with 49 celebrations, nearly doubling the total from CFB 25. Whether you want to hit the Heisman pose, break out the Griddy, mug for the Camera Time, or sell a Fake Leg Injury after a touchdown, there is a celebration for every personality. This guide breaks down every single animation by modifier category and gives you the exact button inputs for Xbox and PlayStation controllers.

How to Activate Celebrations in CFB 27

Celebrations in CFB 27 are performed after a touchdown, a first down, or an interception. The timing window opens immediately after the play ends. You have roughly two seconds to input the command before the game transitions to the next screen. The key modifier combos are:

• Right Stick (RS) only — Flick the right stick in a direction with no modifier held.
• Trigger combo — Hold both triggers (LT + RT on Xbox, L2 + R2 on PS5) and flick the right stick.
• Bumper combo — Hold both bumpers (LB + RB on Xbox, L1 + R1 on PS5) and flick the right stick.
• Advanced modifier combos — Bumper combo++ and Trigger combo++ use an additional tap or button press alongside the modifier hold.
• Face buttons — Tap a single face button (A/B/X/Y on Xbox, Cross/Circle/Square/Triangle on PS5) or two face buttons simultaneously.

You can cycle between multiple celebrations within the same modifier category by flicking the right stick in different directions. Some categories, like Trigger combo and Bumper combo, have two pages of celebrations — after the first four, the next input in the same direction reaches the second page.

Right Stick Celebrations (4 Animations)

The simplest celebrations in CFB 27 require no modifier at all. Just flick the right stick in the corresponding direction after scoring. These are the quickest to execute and serve as your go-to options when the celebration window is tight.

Trigger Combo + RS Celebrations (8 Animations)

Hold both triggers and flick the right stick in a direction. Trigger combo celebrations include the iconic Heisman pose and the new Wavy Hand. The first four directions give one set, and the same four directions on a second page give the remaining four.

Bumper Combo + RS Celebrations (8 Animations)

Hold both bumpers and flick the right stick. This category has the widest range of personality, from the military Salute to the Griddy and the playful Candy Karate. Like the trigger combo, this category has two pages of four celebrations each.

Advanced Modifier Combo + RS Celebrations (8 Animations)

These celebrations use the advanced modifier combos — Bumper combo++ and Trigger combo++ — which add an extra input layer to the standard bumper or trigger hold. The Camera Time and Fake Leg Injury are among the new additions in this tier.

Face Button Celebrations (21 Animations)

Face button celebrations are the easiest to execute — just tap one or two face buttons after the play ends. These are ideal when you have a split second to celebrate before the transition. The single-face-button category has 13 animations, and the two-face-button category has 8.

What Are the New Celebrations in CFB 27?

CFB 27 introduces over a dozen new celebrations not present in CFB 25, bringing the total from roughly 20 touchdown celebrations to 49 across all play types. Standout new additions include Camera Time, where the player mugs for the end-zone camera; Fake Leg Injury, which sees the player dramatically limp off before breaking into a celebration; Swing for the Fences, a baseball-style bat swing; and Shake 'Em Up, a boxing-inspired taunt. The expanded roster also includes Knock Knock, My House, Low Clap Toss, and the two-page system for Trigger and Bumper combos, which effectively doubles the number of accessible animations per modifier hold.

The new animations pair well with the expanded presentation package in CFB 27, including the upgraded Sights and Sounds system detailed in the June 4 deep dive. For more on how the game looks and sounds beyond celebrations, check the CFB 27 news hub.

Tips for Triggering Celebrations Consistently

Missing the celebration window is one of the most frustrating moments in CFB 27. Here are a few tips to make sure your input lands every time:

• Input early — Start your input as soon as the player crosses the goal line. Do not wait for the replay camera to cut in. The game accepts the input during the scoring animation itself.
• Hold modifiers first — For modifier combos, press and hold the trigger or bumper buttons before flicking the right stick. This prevents the game from reading the RS flick as a no-modifier celebration.
• Cycle pages deliberately — The Trigger combo and Bumper combo categories each have two pages. If you do not get the celebration you wanted, try the same direction again after a brief pause — the game cycles to the next page when you repeat the same input.
• Practice in Practice Mode — Use the practice mode to run a quick touchdown play and test celebration inputs without the pressure of a live game. This is the fastest way to memorize the inputs for your favorite animations.
• Know your favorites — With 49 celebrations, you will not remember all of them. Pick 3-5 favorites across different categories and memorize those inputs first. Add more as the muscle memory builds.
