Electronic Arts has announced the launch date for the latest chapter in the Madden NFL franchise, marking a significant shift to next-generation gaming platforms.
Madden NFL 26 is slated to hit shelves on August 14, 2025, with Deluxe Edition pre-orders granting three days of early access starting August 11. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC through the EA app, Steam, Epic, and the Nintendo Switch 2.
As Madden NFL 26 embraces Nintendo's hybrid console, it leaves behind PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, fully committing to the PS5 and Xbox Series generation.
Pre-order incentives include a loyalty discount for players of Madden NFL 25, 24, or 23, offering 10% off and a 99 OVR Player Pack for Madden NFL 25 Ultimate Team. The MVP Bundle combines Deluxe Editions of Madden NFL 26 and College Football 26. Here’s what the Deluxe Edition of Madden NFL 26 includes.
