In addition to the gameplay image, EA Sports has confirmed that the official reveal trailer for Madden NFL 26 is scheduled to debut on Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. ET. Barkley was unveiled as the cover athlete earlier, following a remarkable season where he not only achieved over 2,000 rushing yards but also played an instrumental role in leading the Eagles to victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
