"Madden NFL 26 Sets Release Date, Excludes PS4 and Xbox One"
Electronic Arts has officially unveiled the much-anticipated release date for the latest installment in the Madden NFL series, signaling a full transition to the current generation of gaming consoles. Madden NFL 26 is set to hit the shelves on August 14, 2025, with an enticing three-day early access period for those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition, starting on August 11. Gamers can look forward to playing on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via the EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, as well as the newly introduced Nintendo Switch 2.
A notable shift for the franchise is its complete move away from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, marking a new era for the series on the PS5 and Xbox Series platforms. This transition also brings Madden NFL 26 to Nintendo's hybrid handheld console for the first time, expanding the game's reach to a broader audience.
For those eager to get their hands on the game early, several pre-order options are available. EA is offering a loyalty discount to players of Madden NFL 25, 24, or 23, providing a 10% discount on purchases and a 99 OVR Player Pack for Madden NFL 25 Ultimate Team.
