Saquon Barkley Graces Cover Of Madden NFL 26

After a record-breaking season, Barkley finds himself on the cover of Madden NFL 26. Barkley becomes Madden NFL 26’s first player in the 99 Club, an exclusive list featuring players in the game ranked 99 overall.

Barkley becomes the first Philadelphia Eagle on the cover since quarterback Donovan McNabb for Madden NFL 06.

“Starring on the cover of Madden NFL 26 and being named to the Madden NFL 99 Club are both dreams come true,” said Barkley. “I’m grateful to my teammates, coaches, and Eagles fans for their support, and I can’t wait to hit the field again to give Madden players more highlight-reel moments in Madden NFL 26.”

The Standard Edition cover mimics Barkley’s reverse hurdle from last season in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Deluxe Cover features a headshot of Barkley with his helmet on.

Barkley became the ninth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards in a single season. Barkley is the first player ever to rush for more than 2,500 yards in a single season, including the playoffs.

Barkley’s spectacular play helped the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX
