Electronic Arts has exciting news for sports gaming fans: the release date for the highly anticipated next entry in the Madden NFL series, Madden NFL 26, has been officially confirmed. Mark your calendars for August 14, 2025, when the game will make its full transition to the current generation of consoles. If you can't wait, pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition will grant you three days of early access, starting on August 11. You can dive into the action on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via the EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, and for the first time, on the Nintendo Switch 2.

While this marks a thrilling new chapter for the series on Nintendo's hybrid handheld console, it also signals the end of an era for last-generation platforms. Madden NFL 26 will not be available on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, as the series fully embraces the capabilities of the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.
