The second edition of the MaddenCast moves into primetime as the Baltimore Ravens host the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, November 27 at 8 p.m. ET.
A collaboration between EA SPORTS, NBC, Peacock, the NFL and Genius Sports, this year’s MaddenCast blends live game action with Madden NFL ratings, stats and strategic insights. The broadcast team will feature NFL legends Tyrann Mathieu, Chad Ochocinco and Kurt Benkert. Fans will also see a halftime interview with Kay Adams and Madden NFL 26 cover star Saquon Barkley.
