Madden NFL 26 Locks in Release Date, Hits Nintendo Switch 2 but Ditches PS4 and Xbox One - IGN
Madden NFL 26 has a release date and confirmed platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, and on the Nintendo Switch 2. But it's finally moved on from PS4 and Xbox One.
Electronic Arts has officially confirmed the release date for the next entry in the Madden NFL series, and it looks like the series is making the full leap to the current generation of consoles.
Madden NFL 26 will debut on August 14, 2025 with a three-day early access period for Deluxe Edition pre-orders starting on August 11. The next pro football entry will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC via EA app for Windows, Steam, and Epic, and on the Nintendo Switch 2.
While Madden NFL 26 will see the series finally head to Nintendo's hybrid handheld console, it also means the series is leaving the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the bench. Neither last-gen platform is confirmed for Madden NFL 26, so the series is fully stepping into the PS5 and Xbox Series era.
