There are two options to enjoy three days of early access in Madden 25 from Aug. 13, but both require splashing out additional funds.

Purchasing the Madden 25 Deluxe Edition or the MVP Bundle that includes EA College Football 25 provides the full game three days early from Aug. 13. For that privilege, you need to splash out at least $99.99.

Alternatively, a 10-hour free trial of Madden 25 will be available to EA Play subscribers from Aug. 13. When you load the game, a pop-up will inform you how many hours of your trial remain, and once that expires, you’ll have the purchase the Deluxe Edition or MVP Edition for the full game in the early access period.

Early access in Madden 25 has the bonus of allowing you to get a headstart on your rivals in Ultimate Team, especially as there will be early access Ultimate Team challenges to complete.
