Madden 26 is upping the authenticity this year with a huge batch of new equipment, uniforms, and customization options. From bold new cleats and gloves to throwback jerseys and even the long-awaited Guardian Cap, there’s something here for everybody.
First off, a huge shoutout to EricRayweather, who got early access via the EA Creator Network and laid out everything in a clean, no-frills walkthrough. I’ll break it down here, in a way that packs the essentials. Here is all the new equipment and uniforms in Madden 26!
New Equipment And Uniforms In Madden 26
The Guardian Cap Debuts
We already knew this would be in the game following the closed beta, but in case you missed it, the Guardian Cap is making its debut in Madden 26. You know the padded helmet cover players wear in training camp, or even regular-season games in some cases? It’s here, in both sleeved and unsleeved versions, and it’s as bulky as it’s supposed to be. It ain’t sleek by any means, but it’s certainly authentic. If you’re running Franchise mode or practicing preseason scenarios, layering your players with this just seals the look.
