It’s not just EA Sports College Football 26 — an exciting gaming summer continues for football fans on Aug. 14, 2025, with the release of Madden NFL 26 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. The football simulation will leave behind PS4 and Xbox One entirely, instead making its long-awaited return to a Nintendo console for the first time since Madden NFL 13, which was available on the Wii U.
