Madden NFL 27 is an American football video game developed by EA Orlando and published by EA Sports. Based on the National Football League (NFL), it is the 37th installment of the Madden NFL series, following Madden NFL 26.

On June 4, 2026, the official release date was announced as August 13, 2026.[1] A subsequent announcement on July 14 confirmed an earlier Apple Arcade release on August 4.[2] The game will also launch on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.[3] Caleb Williams was announced as the game's cover athlete.[4] The cover depicts Williams throwing a pass while jumping in front of the Chicago skyline, made to look like the original advertisements for Michael Jordan's Air Jordans in his Jumpman pose.[5] Williams is the first Chicago Bears player on the game's standard cover.[6][a]

The game will include several changes to Madden's franchise mode, including a "persona engine", which EA Sports called "the biggest change to player behavior, negotiations, weekly management, news and free agency that we've ever made. For the first time ever, players in a sports game finally feel human and it's all cohesively designed to work together."[1] It was announced that there will also be more detailed player contracts and "smarter defensive AI" in gameplay, among other features.[1]
