Madden NFL 26 updates: 3 new celebrations added to EA's latest game feat. Amon-Ra St. Brown's headstand

Madden NFL 26 is the latest iteration of the NFL's companion video game. The game is set to feature improved quarterback mechanics, unique coaching simulations and revamped defensive control.

Fans and gaming enthusiasts can also look forward to unique celebrations in the popular franchise. Here we will analyze three new Madden celebrations set to hit gaming screens in August.

Three new celebrations in Madden NFL 26

1. Amon-Ra St. Brown headstand

Amon-Ra St. Brown broke the internet in November as the Lions star WR hit the headstand celly after scoring a touchdown against archrivals, the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown's first-quarter TD contributed to the eventual 24-14 scoreline.

Madden NFL 26 will feature the headstand celebration, with Atlanta Falcons' Drake London potentially getting the celebration added to his bag. London hit the headstand celly on the same day as St. Brown after scoring a touchdown versus the Dallas Cowboys.

St. Brown is fresh off one of the best seasons of his career. He'll be a key part of Dan Campbell's Lions as they look to go one step (or maybe even two) in their quest for Super Bowl glory.

2. DK Metcalf ASL

DK Metcalf initially learned ASL as a hobby, eventually incorporating it as his default touchdown celebration in the 2024 regular season. The then Seattle Seahawks wide receiver frequently signed his celebrations after scoring TDs last season.

Madden NFL 26 is set to feature Metcalf's ASL celly, and he'll be hitting it as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Expect to see some electrifying plays from the two-time Pro Bowler as he catches passes from Aaron Rodgers in 2025.

The Steelers haven't won a playoff game in years. They'll fancy their chances in the upcoming season thanks to their offseason additions and some savvy draft moves.

3. Travis Hunter backflip

Travis Hunter hit the backflip and a Spider-Man web celebration while playing for Colorado in a game against Cincinnati. The two-way superstar caught a pinpoint Shedeur Sanders pass before stunning the crowd with his acrobatic celebration.

Madden NFL 26 will feature Hunter's spinning backflip, which is something that Madden enthusiasts will look forward to. It's just a question of whether they'll be able to use the celebration on offense and defense, as Hunter is set to do both in his rookie season.
