The NFL schedule was just released this week, and while the NFL and the media often overhype it, it is a fun tradition that many fans wait for as they determine which games they want to go see live (if you are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to go to a game, that is). It’s also a fun time for the betting markets as they officially kick off the new season with “way too early” odds, over/under, and spreads for the season’s premiere matchups. We also see a lot of pick ‘em challenges start popping up as avid fans try to guess how the season will play out months before training camp even starts!
One under-discussed element, though, is Madden. Right now, the Madden 26 EA developers are working on adding the newly released schedule into the game. While doing that, they’ve likely begun work (if not basically done) tweaking ratings and updating rosters after the first half of the offseason has drawn to a close.
