EA Sports finally confirms the Madden NFL 22 cover reveal date, while teasing that the cover will include two ‘GOATs’ of the sport.
EA Sports has never taken this long to reveal the next Madden NFL cover athlete. Each year, fans are hoping that the Madden NFL cover athlete will be revealed in the spring alongside the game, with the game itself releasing in August. While fans have had to wait a bit longer than usual to learn more about Madden NFL 22, it seems like the wait is almost over.
On Twitter, the official Madden NFL page posted a short sneak peek featuring Peyton Hillis, a former Madden NFL cover athlete in his own right. The teaser video shows Hillis with two goats, which is most likely a reference to the acronym GOAT – Greatest Of All Time. The fact that there are two goats in the teaser seems to suggest that the Madden NFL 22 cover will feature two athletes this time, which is something that has been rumored in the past.
Unfortunately, there are no other clues to the identity of the Madden NFL 22 cover athlete in the video. There has been a lot of speculation and rumors about who might appear on the cover, from Super Bowl legend Tom Brady to current Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but nothing has been confirmed. Fortunately, fans will find out who the athlete (or athletes) is from the cover of Madden NFL 22 on June 17 at 10am ET.
Even former cover athlete @thepeytonhillis didn’t see this coming…

Now that Madden NFL 22 fans know when to expect the cover reveal reveal, the question is whether this reveal will also include their first look at the game. Typically EA would host its EA Play event around this time, where it would provide a deep dive into the Madden NFL 22 game, but that event will also take place much later this year, scheduled for July 22 rather than during. on E3.
The EA Play event taking place on July 22 will likely feature Madden NFL 22 in some way, but you’d think the game would be revealed before then. After all, Madden NFL 22’s release date will almost certainly be in August, and if the game isn’t revealed until the end of July, that would only give EA Sports a few weeks to show it off before it launches. the masses. . And fans are certainly eager to see if the company has kept its word on expanding the Madden NFL franchise mode after the Madden NFL 21 version was so heavily criticized.
On the other hand, Madden NFL 22 is a game that Madden fans will likely buy regardless of their feelings about Madden NFL 21 or if they even watch any games before the release date. With this in mind, EA Sports may not feel much pressure to show the game long before launch. Whatever the case, fans will discover the cover athletes of Madden NFL 22 on June 17.
Madden NFL 22 is in development for unspecified platforms.
