Madden NFL 25 Release Time & Date (2024)

Madden NFL puts out an annual entry in the franchise to keep up with any roster changes and to implement the latest innovations in gaming technology and improvements to the gameplay formula — such as the new physics-based tackling system called BOOM Tech. Fans cannot wait to get their hands on this new entry, and those that pre-order will be able to hop in even sooner thanks to 3-day Early Access.

A lot of fans might be unaware of exactly when they can dive into the game and if they qualify for Early Access or not — which will depend on which version of the game they pre-ordered. Here's exactly when you can get your hands on the game.

What Time Does Madden NFL 25 Release?

Players that check online will find August 16th floating around a lot, but depending on which timezone they are in, this will change the exact moment this will occur. Below is a list detailing the exact times that players who get the Standard Edition can expect the game to be available for them.

Players who pre-ordered the Standard Edition will also be getting some other goodies, including a Christian McCaffrey Elite Player, Choice of 2 Strategy Items, Superstar Drip Gear, and a Legendary XP Boost. However, note that the Drip Gear And Boost are not available on previous-generation gaming devices such as the PS4.

How To Get Madden NFL 25 Early Access

In order to play the game early, players will need to have pre-ordered either the Deluxe Edition or the MVP Edition of the game. While the game is advertised as 3 days early, it will actually be 3 days and 8 hours, meaning these fans will get in even sooner than expected. Here are all the Early Access times for those who ordered these special editions of the game:

Players who pre-order one of these editions will also receive even more goodies than those who pre-ordered the Standard Edition. Deluxe Edition owners will receive a Hall of Fame Player Item, special Early Access Challenges, and 4600 Madden Points. Those who opt for the MVP Edition will get everything from the Deluxe Edition, as well as the Deluxe Edition of another EA Sports game, College Football 25 — along with 4600 College Football Points.
