Madden NFL 26 - Season 8

Season 8 is here, and it’s time for the most important part of the offseason: the NFL Draft. But that’s not all, there are also events like Reel Deals to showcase the intersection of Hollywood and football, a massive chance to build your ideal roster in Theme Team Surge, and a celebration of some of the unique cultures that make up the sport in AANHPI Heritage Month. 

Complete Challenges and Sets, work your way up the Field Pass, and more as we celebrate the next generation of NFL talent!

NFL Draft

Welcome to the NFL Draft! Add 1 of 2 upgradeable (to 99 OVR) Draft player items to your roster, just for logging in. If you change your mind, you'll be able to add the other player to your lineup on 4/30. Once Draft Night is over, new picks will get new player items added. Look for your team's new star!

Think you have what it takes to be an NFL scout? Complete Sets with the token you receive upon logging in and select what position you think will get drafted for each of the first 10 picks of the NFL draft to earn rewards.

Reel Deals

Lights. Camera. Action! Welcome to Reel Deals, where the silver screen meets the green turf! From players who took their talents to Hollywood to actors who get involved with the sport and more, find new player items to make your team shine. Log in for a new player item, use Reel Deals Upgrade Tokens to upgrade them and other Reel Deals Reward players to 99 OVR, and more.

Theme Team Surge

Bolster your Theme Team to the max! Look for new player items with 32 Theme Team chemistries, 3 Theme Team Champions, and more so you can build the Theme Team of your dreams — maybe even two.

Play Challenges, CPU Events, H2H Events, and complete the Field Pass to unlock these highly coveted players and more. Upgradable Champions are also here for all 32 NFL teams! Upgrade your team’s Champ to unlock extra abilities and Motivators to give your team that extra surge. 

AANHPI Heritage Month

The NFL has a rich history of players of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander heritage, and we’re celebrating with our community! Each year, we celebrate 5 players of AANHPI heritage by digging deeper into their stories, from their early lives to their NFL achievements. 

Log in during the event to get 5 upgradeable AANHPI player items and an upgrade token. Earn more upgrade tokens and a strategy item by completing Challenges and more throughout the event.
