Madden NFL 26 Trial and Early Access Available Now on All Platforms

After some early hiccups, the Madden NFL 26 10 hour trial is now live for EA Play subscribers on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Those who picked up the MVP Bundle or preordered the Deluxe Edition should have early access to the full game, as do EA Play Pro members on PC.

Update here!

We are seeing Xbox MVP bundle owners are able to access the game.

Still unable to access the game as an Xbox MVP bundle owner? Be sure to hard reset your Xbox.

We greatly appreciate your patience, thank you!
