Will EA announce their next hockey title at their digital summer gaming expo in June?

Despite delays, though, fans are still expecting big things for NHL 21.

Let’s go over what we know about EA Play and what we could see for NHL 21.

Fans are still in the dark about a specific release date, the cover star, any new features… Basically anything.

The only thing we can really be sure of is that, like Madden 21, it will be optimized for Xbox Series X and will probably have Smart Delivery too.

We got the NHL 20 trailer in June last year, so it makes sense to use the digital version of EA Play to show it off to the world.

How to watch EA Play

EA Play will take place this year on 11 June. It will start at 4pm PT / 7pm ET / 12 am BST (on 12 June).

You can watch on EA.com and there is sure to be coverage across all EA’s social channels as well.

EA Play Schedule

There is currently no schedule publically available for the order of events during EA Play.

Hopefully we will get one before the event so that NHL fans know when they can tune in for news about the upcoming game.
