NBC Sports and Peacock will collaborate for a second consecutive year with the National Football League, EA SPORTS, and Genius Sports to present the EA SPORTS Madden NFL Cast. This season’s edition moves to primetime on Thanksgiving, exclusively streaming on Peacock, as the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium (Thursday, Nov. 27 at 8 p.m. ET).

Blending video game elements and live action, the stream will be an immersive, data-powered live football experience that injects Madden NFL’s unique brand elements as animated overlays. Featuring live EA SPORTS Madden NFL 26 graphics, route trees, play cards and player ratings, the Madden NFL Cast will transform football strategy, information and IQ for viewers.

New to this year’s Madden NFL Cast:The main coverage angle will predominantly come from the hi-sky camera located behind the quarterback – the view most familiar to Madden gamers – rather than from television’s traditional sideline camera location.

The live stream, available exclusively on Peacock, will feature a dedicated commentary team. Three-time All-Pro defensive back Tyrann Mathieu joins this year’s team, alongside returning Madden NFL Cast veterans Paul Burmeister of NBC Sports, who will handle play-by-play, and former NFL quarterback, YouTuber and Madden NFL expert Kurt Benkert, who will utilize graphic overlays to discuss and predict play options.

Six-time Cincinnati Bengals Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson returns to the Madden NFL Cast as “ratings adjuster,” adjusting player ratings in real-time from on-site at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore alongside reporter Kay Adams.

Enjoy the game!
