Madden 22: 10 Rumours You Need To Know

10. It’s Coming In Late-August

The 2021 NFL season kicks off on 9 September this year. Typically, EA like to have Madden out for at least a few weeks before the first round of games, so most are predicting that Madden 22 will launch towards the end of August.

27 August seems likely - it's a Friday, and the last one of the month.

EA seem to enjoy switching between an early-August or late-August release window for Madden each year. EA Play subscribers should note that they'd get to play a bit earlier than those waiting for a boxed copy; the same presumably goes for those who are buying special editions of the game that may/may not launch a bit earlier.

Play subs will also be able to try out 10 hours of gameplay before committing, which is nice. Any save data from those sessions will be carried on over to the full retail release too.
