NFL fans are awaiting news about Madden 21. When will it come out, and will it see any delays?
The only sport that has been relatively untouched by COVID-19 is the NFL.
Super Bowl LIV was all over before the pandemic got going, and the NFL Draft at the end of April is still scheduled to go ahead.
However, Madden hasn’t been quite so lucky. Last week’s Color Smash promo suffered a delay due in large part to EA Sports’ staff having to work from home.
So will Madden 21 suffer the same fate, or can EA deliver on time?

When will Madden 21 come out?
The million-dollar question!
Madden 21 does not have an official release date yet.
