EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26

BUILT FROM SUNDAYS

EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26 leverages a new AI-powered machine learning system to convert thousands of plays from nearly a decade of real NFL data into more explosive gameplay—with new player-specific traits, authentic play-styles, and adaptive counters that match on-field tendencies and strategies of NFL quarterbacks and coaches.

From the Skol chant in Minnesota to the light show in Baltimore, immerse yourself in new presentation across the NFL including game-impacting weather, team traditions, and more.

Built from Sundays. Real NFL data powers the realest Madden to date.

SIGNATURE QBS
Star NFL quarterbacks move, look, and feel more like the superstars they are.

COACH DNA
Adaptive counters informed by real NFL coaching trends.

ROSTER MANAGEMENT
Modernized depth charts, new positional roles, and the Wear & Tear system add strategy and experimentation to roster management and game-planning.

FOOTBALL WEATHER
Depending on how extreme the conditions are, Football Weather can completely disrupt your original game plan. Adapt to new challenges like limited visibility downfield in heavy snow and fog, or wet conditions that will directly impact player movement, stamina, ball security, and more.

This game includes optional in-game purchases of virtual currency that can be used to acquire virtual in-game items, including a random selection of virtual in-game items.
