Madden NFL 26 will launch its early access trial on August 11th, but many players reported encountering issues accessing the game. We hope this issue will be fully resolved by August 14th.

The ratings for each team in the early access trial have been released. Unlike College Football 26's 130-plus teams, Madden NFL 26 only features 32 teams, but these 32 teams represent professionalism, enhanced skill, and more intense competition.

So, which teams are the highest-rated this year? Which teams excel on offense or defense? Which teams are worth rebuilding with your Madden NFL 26 coins?

Top 10 Teams

1. Baltimore Ravens - 93 OVR

Although Ravens are a relatively new team compared to many of the more established franchises, their solid management style complements the city of Baltimore. Baltimore once boasted a glorious history, and its fan base skewed towards the blue-collar crowd, characterized by a relentless, unyielding spirit. If I could use a celebrity to describe this team and its fans, I'd say it's Denzel Washington. “Fall down seven times, get up eight times," “keep moving forward, keep learning, keep pushing forward, never stop"—these are the best descriptions of the team and its people.

2. Philadelphia Eagles - 91 OVR

The team boasts a rich history, with numerous playoff appearances and their first Super Bowl title in 2018. Known for their stout defense and dynamic offense, Eagles are incredibly popular among Philadelphia fans and a vital part of the city's culture.

Philadelphia Eagles achieved a heartwarming revenge against Kansas City Chiefs this year, with a decisive victory. Jalen Hurts, Eagles' hardest-working quarterback, provided a powerful foundation for the team's strategy.

3. Kansas City Chiefs - 90 OVR

Although Kansas City Chiefs have drawn a little criticism both on and off the field, their power is undeniable. Despite being defeated by Eagles and losing some of their top players, they still hold the third-place ranking.

4. Buffalo Bills - 89 OVR

Buffalo Bills narrowly lost to Kansas City Chiefs this year. They are a strong team on both offense and defense, but their core player, quarterback Josh Allen, seemed to struggle throughout the 2025 season.

5. Minnesota Vikings - 88 OVR

Ranking fifth overall is a challenge for Minnesota Vikings. Despite their strong 2024 season, they replaced their quarterback with rookie J.J. McCarthy. Consequently, their offense received a relatively low rating. Whether they can maintain this position remains to be seen.

6. Detroit Lions - 88 OVR

Despite their ups and downs, Detroit Lions have always been a highly competitive team, consistently meeting the expectations of their fans. Their offensive prowess is incredibly ferocious, which is one reason their players are often injured.

They lost some key players this year, which may have a negative impact on the team's strength. If you like this team, you can use Madden 26 coins to rebuild it or collect players from it.

7. Houston Texans - 87 OVR

Houston Texans are a relatively young team in National Football League (NFL), founded in 2002.

Despite their youth, they have already established themselves as a contender in NFL. They had a strong offseason. Despite the departure of left tackle Laremy Tunsil, they remain the favorites to win AFC South.

8. Denver Broncos - 87 OVR

Denver Broncos, founded in 1960, belong to AFC West division. They have a stellar record, winning back-to-back Super Bowl titles in 1997 and 1998 under the leadership of legendary quarterback Aldridge. Aldridge's status in football rivals that of basketball legend Michael Jordan, and he was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXIII.

But they are now clearly far from their peak. They are struggling to rebuild and have just made it back to the playoffs. You can take over this team and use MUT 26 coins to train the team, recruit players, and see how long it takes to get them back to the top.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers - 86 OVR

Steelers will have new offensive coach Arthur Smith (formerly Atlanta Falcons' head coach) in charge of reshaping their offense for the 2024 season. They've signed several key players, and these changes may make Pittsburgh Steelers more competitive.

10. San Francisco 49ers - 86 OVR

San Francisco 49ers missed the playoffs in 2024 due to injuries to key players. Despite a poor season, NFL26 still ranked them 10th, clearly believing they can rebound this year.
