SALEM, OR - Madden NFL 26 is bringing the noise this year with one of the most diverse and high-energy soundtracks in the franchise's history. Packed with chart-toppers, genre-bending collaborations, and throwback stadium anthems, the playlist is built to fuel everything from pre-game hype to last-minute heroics.
A Cross-Genre Powerhouse
From hip-hop heavyweights like Nas ("Define My Name") and Kendrick Lamar ("tv off"), to rock icons like Foo Fighters ("The Pretender") and Linkin Park ("The Emptiness Machine"), the soundtrack blends eras and styles without skipping a beat. Country stars Luke Combs ("Back In The Saddle") and Bailey Zimmerman ("New To Country") stand alongside rap innovators like Lil Nas X ("HOTB**") and JID ("Sk8"), while pop and alternative acts such as Twenty One Pilots ("The Contract") and Metronomy ("Typical – Martin Wave Remix") expand the playlist's sonic reach.
Legends Meet the New School
Madden NFL 26 doesn't just feature today's biggest names-it also includes unforgettable hits from past decades. Expect to hear Beastie Boys' "Sabotage," Blur's "Song 2," Rage Against the Machine's "Guerrilla Radio," and Run DMC's "It's Tricky" alongside modern stadium-shakers like Travis Scott's "FE!N" and Lil Uzi Vert's "Just Wanna Rock." The inclusion of these classics adds a nostalgic edge while keeping the adrenaline high for every snap.
Stadium-Only Hype
For in-game immersion, certain tracks will only play as stadium snippets, making moments like big defensive stops or game-winning drives even more electric. This includes Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls," The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army," and Zombie Nation's "Kernkraft 400 - Sport Chant Stadium Remix," alongside crowd-favorites like Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz' "Get Low."
Built for Every Mode
Whether running a franchise, competing in Ultimate Team, or taking on friends in head-to-head battles, this year's soundtrack balances hype tracks for high-energy gameplay with more atmospheric cuts for menus and downtime. The variety ensures every moment-from setting your depth chart to marching downfield-comes with a fitting backdrop.
