What is EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26?

Built from Sundays.

EA SPORTS™ Madden NFL 26 leverages a new AI-powered machine learning system trained on thousands of plays from nearly a decade of real NFL data to deliver more explosive gameplay – with new player-specific traits, authentic playstyles, 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 dynamic halftime shows with Scott Hanson.

Key features

Why you should play Madden NFL 26

Signature QBs

The new Signature QBs feature is trained by real QB play calls and game situations over nearly a decade to deliver unique, player-specific pocket behaviours, signature throwing motions, and distinct scrambling styles that match real on-field movement of star NFL quarterbacks.

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.

Coach DNA

Coaches make decisions based on their actual philosophies, backed by nearly a decade of NFL data. Experience real coaching styles, adding new layers of strategy to every matchup. Dynamic coach suggestions provide play recommendations based on what your team’s coach would dial up in specific game situations, and new multi-player counters offer smart recommendations against opponent tendencies.

Explosive NFL gameplay

Burst upfield like Saquon with updated player movement to reflect the explosive athleticism only the NFL can deliver. Physics-based interactions now include catch tackles, stiff-arms and trucks for improved collision control.

Play the return of the Most Feared Event

New Ultimate Team content

The highly anticipated, fan-favourite Most Feared event returns, running from October 16 to November 6 2025, with more spooky events and ghoulish new player items to give your roster a terrifying boost.
