Madden NFL 26 Season 3 kicks off this Oct. 22 as version 1.008, and this brings new gear, new face scans, Playbook upgrades and more.

Joe Flacco secured Team of the Week honors in Madden NFL 26 with his 342 passing yards and three touchdowns against the Pittsburgh Steelers, helping the Cincinnati Bengals to a 33-31 win. EA Sports has awarded him a 91 OVR Limited Edition item in the football sim to recognize the stellar performance.

The October Madden 26 update revamps defensive AI, adds new formations, refines catching and QB movement, and improves Franchise and Ultimate Team stability.

After a frustrating week of reflecting on last weekend's letdown, it's time to erase those memories and hope for a better result on Sunday afternoon in a crucial NFC East showdown. Dallas will be welcoming the division rival Washington Commanders to AT&T Stadium for an afternoon kickoff with second place in the NFC East up for grabs.
