EA SPORTS has officially announced that the cover athlete for NHL 26 will be revealed on August 4. This announcement comes as the company has updated its social media profile pictures and banners to feature a simple NHL 26 logo, highlighting the game’s impending release and its standard and limited edition versions.
As NHL 25 is set to enter its eighth season soon, fans are curious if there will be any connections between the two games. During a recent earnings call, EA confirmed that NHL 26 is slated for a release in the second quarter of the fiscal year, preceding the launch of EA FC 26. With EA FC set to debut on September 26, it’s likely that NHL 26 will be available in early to mid-September.
Fans are encouraged to guess who the cover athlete might be, especially since the Hughes brothers were showcased as the cover athletes for NHL 25 after a leak in mid-August 2024.
Excitement is building in the gaming community as players anticipate updates, including the new 99 overall HUT Team Builders which should enhance the overall gameplay experience. For more information on NHL gaming, be sure to check out The Hockey News Gaming Site or follow their Google News Feed.
