The Top 50 Madden 26 player ratings

The Madden 26 best players list brought individual glory to Josh Allen and Ja'Marr Chase, but it didn't help them take the Bills or Bengals to the Super Bowl. Indeed, not a single member of the victorious Seattle Seahawks featured in the initial Madden 26 top 50 – proving it's a sport that rewards team play over solo skills. Look back on who did make the elite list, and who snuck in to this year's 99 Club, with your Madden 26 best players guide.

The Madden 26 99 Club features seven players, and completely rewrites the elite list from last season. Christian McCaffrey, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, and Trent Williams made the Madden 25 99 Club at launch – but none of them manage a repeat. They're replaced by Ja'Marr Chase (WR, Cincinnati), Josh Allen (QB, Buffalo), Justin Jefferson (WR, Minnesota), Lamar Jackson (QB, Baltimore), Lane Johnson (RT, Philadelphia), Myles Garrett (RE, Cleveland), and cover star Saquon Barkley (RB, Philadelphia).
