So far, there are few details regarding a formal release date for the next game in the Madden franchise, but that doesn’t mean we are left totally in the dark about what to expect. By looking back on prior editions’ release schedules, we can make some pretty confident estimations about how release is likely to work for Madden 27. While we wait for EA to provide more details on the specifics of the release, here’s what we already know and what you can expect the release cycle for Madden 27 to look like when we get a set of hard dates:

• Formal Announcement: The first piece of news we are likely to get, which features specific dates, will likely come in the spring, as this is traditionally when EA releases this information. It’s common for this announcement to come in April, meaning fans are about two months away from learning the exact date that Madden 27 will be available on PCs and consoles around the world.
• Early Access Period: In addition to revealing the game’s official release date, EA is also expected to announce an early access period for players who opt in. Traditionally, this grants several days of access before the public launch to those who purchase a premium edition, which often includes additional perks such as cosmetics, Ultimate Team cards, or in-game currency. Early access typically begins earlier in the week ahead of the full release, though that isn’t guaranteed. Last year, for example, early access started on a Monday for a game that officially launched on Thursday, resulting in a shortened access window.
• Official Full Release: Although we don’t know the exact date for the full release of the game to all gamers, we can make some reasonable assumptions based on prior years. The game tends to release around the third week of the year, with the last game to not release between the 14th and 20th being the pandemic edition in 2020. It is also likely that the game will release on a Friday; however, last year’s game did release a day early on Thursday. This makes August 14 and August 21 the most likely dates for Madden 27. Based on other release dates in recent years, the 14th seems like the more-likely option. Fans will have to keep waiting for the final word to know for sure when to expect Madden to hit shelves.
