Madden NFL 26 Sets Release Date, Coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Skipping PS4 and Xbox One

May 17,2025 Author: Lillian

Electronic Arts has officially announced the release date for the latest installment in the Madden NFL series, marking a significant transition to the current generation of gaming consoles. Madden NFL 26 is set to launch on August 14, 2025. Fans eager to dive in early can enjoy a three-day early access period if they pre-order the Deluxe Edition, starting from August 11. This new entry will be available across a range of platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via the EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, and the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2.

The inclusion of the Nintendo Switch 2 marks a significant expansion for the series, bringing it to Nintendo's hybrid console for the first time. However, this also means that Madden NFL 26 will no longer support the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, fully embracing the capabilities of the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles.
