EA Sports Madden NFL 26 system requirements

Can I run Madden 26?

To run the Madden 26 system requirements, you will need an AMD Radeon RX 570 GPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, 10GB of RAM, and 65GB of SSD or HDD space.

Given that Madden 26 uses the same game engine as its predecessor, it's not too surprising to find that the Madden 26 PC requirements are exactly the same as the Madden 25 requirements. This isn't to say the game is necessarily easy to run, particularly for older gaming laptops and PCs, but most mid-range PCs from the last five years should have no issues meeting the game's requirements.

On the Madden 26 minimum requirements front, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU, an intel Core i7-6700K CPU, and 10GB of RAM. 

The Madden 26 recommended specs, by comparison, are significantly higher, calling for an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, and 12GB of RAM.
