EA Sports confirmed release dates and platform availability for Madden NFL 26 and College Football 26 today on social media and with a YouTube Trailer! First, College Football 26 is slated to release worldwide on July 10th, but pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle grants 3-day early access starting July 7th. Madden NFL 26 releases worldwide about a month later on August 14th and just like CFB, pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition or MVP Bundle gives 3-day early access on August 11th.
Madden NFL 26 will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S, PC, and starting this year - Nintendo Switch 2! College Football 26 will only be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox X|S. With no mention of Xbox One or PlayStation 4 in today's news, it seems safe to assume neither game will be supported on old-gen consoles moving forward.
If you pre-order the MVP Bundle before April 29th, you will receive a token that can be redeemed starting April 25th for your choice between a 99 OVR WR Travis Hunter or CB Travis Hunter! If you have any questions about claiming Hunter, read this.
