GET A FREE $10 GIFT CARD: Pre-order Madden 26 for PS5, Xbox, or Switch 2 for $69.99 before its Aug. 14 release date and get a free $10 Best Buy gift card.
The new Madden game has the chance to be the best football-related video game of the past year. After Madden 25 turned out to be just another Madden game — and now that College Football 26 is turning out to be similarly just fine — Madden 26's odds of taking the trophy are good.
If you've been considering buying it, let Best Buy's preorder promo convince you: Get a free $10 Best Buy gift card just for pre-ordering Madden 26 at Best Buy before it comes out on Aug. 14.
You'll get a few weeks of believable in-game action before the first NFL game of the 2025 season kicks off between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. Coincidentally, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley graces the cover of Madden 26.
Madden 26 is available for PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2, all three going for $69.99. The gift card can't be applied directly to this purchase, but will be sent via email to be used on a later buy. Expected upgrades from the last game include more fluid gameplay, improved Franchise mode, and "Wear and Tear" to track player fatigue.
Having the latest Madden game at your fingertips is the obvious next step for superfans who can't get enough NFL, even if they're watching every game — including all of the out-of-market ones every Sunday. There's an NFL Sunday Ticket deal for that, too: New users can secure NFL Sunday Ticket for the full upcoming season for $276, which is over $100 less than the price for returning users. You could also switch to a Verizon phone or home internet plan and get NFL Sunday Ticket for free.
