The NFL regular season kicks off tonight and EA Sports is offering Madden NFL 24 Free Play Weekend through September 10 on the Xbox and PlayStation stores. Fans of the NFL eager to dive into the season opener have an opportunity to purchase the Madden NFL 24 NFL+ Edition until October 10 for $99.99 (or $89.99 with EA Play account).

With NFL+ Premium, fans can enjoy mobile access to live local and primetime games, NFL RedZone, NFL Network, game replays and various other features, ensuring they stay up-to-date with every play.

Madden NFL 24 achieved another milestone by setting a franchise record for digital units sold in a single week with a 36 percent surge in the number of games played during its initial week of launch compared to last year. Several emerging trends provide insights into which players fans believe will have the most significant impact on this season.

• Cover athlete Josh Allen was the top quarterback for a second consecutive year and totaled more than double the passing touchdowns of runner-up Patrick Mahomes
• The Ravens vaulted to the most used team behind a 180 percent increase in year-over-year usage; newly added Odell Beckham Jr. tallied the most touchdown catches and Lamar Jackson (#4) landed in the top-five quarterbacks
• Players pegged the AFC North as a division to watch, with three teams among the most popular in the game (Ravens #1, Bengals #2, Steelers #4) and two intra-division clashes (Ravens-Steelers #1, Bengals-Ravens #4) among the most common matchups
• Jonathan Taylor was the game’s top running back, newly traded Jalen Ramsey led in interceptions and Aaron Donald racked up the most sacks
