Eagles RB Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle to grace cover of 'Madden NFL 26'
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley's reverse hurdle over Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Jarrian Jones was widely viewed as the top play of the 2024 NFL season. Now, the play will be commemorated in arguably the biggest way possible. Barkley was named the cover athlete for "Madden NFL 26" by EA Sports on Monday. The cover of the game features Barkley recreating that memorable hurdle. He was also named to the Madden 99 Club, becoming the first Eagles offensive player to earn a 99 overall rating in the video game. "Starring on the cover of Madden NFL 26 and being named to the Madden NFL '99 Club' are both dreams come true," Barkley said in an EA Sports press release. "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." Barkley's first season with the Eagles was one for the ages. He won Offensive Player of the Year as he led the league in rushing, going for 2,005 yards. He fell 100 yards short of Eric Dickerson's longstanding regular-season record, missing the chance to break it by sitting in the Eagles' regular-season finale. He also rushed for 13 touchdowns, adding 33 receptions for 278 yards and two touchdowns during the regular season. While Barkley didn't break the rushing record in the regular season, he broke the total rushing record in the postseason. He ran for 499 yards in Philadelphia's four playoff games, helping it win its second Super Bowl. Barkley's 2,504 total rushing yards for the season broke the record Pro Football Hall of Famer set in 1998 (2,476 yards). "Saquon's reverse hurdle was one of the rare, defining moments in NFL history that would have once been described as 'something out of a videogame,'" "Madden NFL" VP, Franchise Strategy & Marketing Evan Dexter said in a news release. "Now, it's a display of the athleticism and creativity of one football's most electrifying athletes. Madden NFL 26 will deliver the most real NFL experience we've ever built so that players can experience more of the unreal moments that Saquon put on display all season long." Barkley will become the second player in Eagles history to be featured on the cover of "Madden NFL." Longtime Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was on the cover of "Madden NFL 06." A full reveal of the game will be made on Wednesday. The game will be released on Aug. 14, with fans being able to pre-order it for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on Tuesday. Fans can also pre-order the game via EA Sports' MVP Bundle, which allows access to the deluxe versions of "Madden NFL 26" and "College Football 26." Users can play both games three days early through the MVP Bundle. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Madden 26 Release Date And Pre-Order Info
Madden 26 Was it a Madden 26 or EA College Football 26 announcement? It was both, and it happened on Thursday when EA revealed the release dates, MVP pre-order bundles and trailer for both games. I talked a bit about College Football 26, which releases on July 20 (July 7 for early access) here, but let's talk more about Madden NFL 26. The NFL game drops on August 14 and on August 11 for early access. The trailer, which was tagged "The Call," clearly connects the two football games in a way that suggests there will be even more cohesion between the titles than it was in 2024 when EA brought the college game back. In any case, here is a look at the trailer, what you'll receive in the MVP Bundle and more. Here is a look at the trailer: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Here's what you will receive if you pre-order the MVP Bundle for $149.99: For now, the MVP Bundle seems like the way to go—especially for those planning to play both titles. Early access to both games and exclusive in-game content make it a compelling option. Having the ability to import draft classes from College Football 26 is the one feature that I'm hoping returns. Back in the days of the NCAA Football series, that feature brought more life to franchise and dynasty mode than anything else. It wasn't a part of the package in 2024, but the early signs are making me optimistic that we'll see it return. I bug the EA devs every year about injury presentation in Madden. It's a small thing, but I love the immersion of a season in franchise mode. Thus again this year, it is one thing that I hope has been addressed. There is another particularly interesting tidbit I'm hoping to see revealed with Madden 26, and that's the specifics of the game's utilization of Scott Hanson, the voice of NFL RedZone. I wrote about Hanson reportedly joining the Madden team earlier this month. I can't wait to see if my dreams of a weekly wrap-up highlight show from around the NFL has been added to the game. The use of Hanson adds another layer of intrigue. If he's more than just a voice in the menus and actually drives a RedZone-style experience within Franchise, that would be a game-changing leap in immersion. It's the type of presentation layer fans have been begging for: weekly highlights, real-time injury updates, and context-driven league-wide storylines. Combine that with a return to draft class imports and expanded customization, and Madden 26 could deliver a major way. We should begin to see information rolling out about the games in June. the first wave will be heavier on College Football because it drops in July with Madden taking the handoff after its little brother is released.
