The Madden NFL 26 trailer just dropped, and fans are going wild over it. New features, such as AI-powered decision-making and the wear-and-tear system, have been the talk of the community. However, one aspect is not being discussed enough: the return of the mascots.
Mascots were discontinued after Madden 12 came out for several reasons, but it looks like EA has decided to bring back these fan favourites. Now, we haven’t gotten an official roster confirmation on which mascots are in, but here’s what we know so far.
Confirmed Mascots In Madden 26
There were only 5 mascots shown in the official Madden NFL 26 trailer:
- Dallas Cowboys: Rowdy
- Chicago Bears: Staley Da Bear
- Buffalo Bills: Billy Buffalo
- Philadelphia Eagles: Swoop and Air Swoop
- Kansas City Chiefs: K.C. Wolf
These are the mascots that are confirmed to be in-game for now. You can view their cameos in the trailer, so if you’re a fan of Staley Da Bear or Billy Buffalo, you’re in luck. While this inadvertently points towards other mascots also being present, we cannot say for sure until the official list is published by EA Sports.
Still, we’ve compiled a list of all the remaining mascots whose presence is tentative for now. If the feature applies to all 28 NFL teams, we should be seeing the rest of them as well.
Potential Mascots in Madden 26
Here’s a list of the remaining 23 mascots that weren’t featured in the official trailer.
| Teams (AFC) | Mascots | Teams (NFC) | Mascots |
| Baltimore Ravens | Poe, Rise, and Conquer | Arizona Cardinals | Big Red |
| Cincinnati Bengals | Who Dey | Atlanta Falcons | Freddie Falcon |
| Cleveland Browns | Chomps, Swagger Jr., and Brownie the Elf | Carolina Panthers | Sir Purr |
| Denver Broncos | Miles and Thunder II | Detroit Lions | Roary |
| Houston Texans | Toro | Los Angeles Rams | Rampage |
| Indianapolis Colts | Blue | Minnesota Vikings | Viktor |
| Jacksonville Jaguars | Jaxson De Ville | New Orleans Saints | Gumbough and Sir Saint |
| Las Vegas Raiders | Raider Rusher | San Francisco 49ers | Sourdough Sam |
| Miami Dolphins | T.D | Seattle Seahawks | Blitz, Boom, and Taima |
| New England Patriots | Pat Patriot | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Captain Fear |
| Pittsburgh Steelers | Steely McBeam | Washington Commanders | Major Tuddy |
| Tennesse Titans | T-Rac |
We’re hoping to see all the teams introduced by their respective mascots, as it will add a touch of theatrics to the field, which was missing in the previous games. With the hyperrealistic graphics we’re expecting in Madden NFL 26, reintroducing mascots will be an amazing change to the team entries.
