Official: Caleb Williams is the Madden 27 Cover Athlete

The Bears did an awesome job providing some behind-the-scenes content from the photoshoot. You can find that information here.

Williams is the first Chicago Bears player to grace the primary cover of a Madden game. A lot of people forget, Roberto Garza was the cover athlete for the Spanish version of Madden 09. That said, both the Jumpman throw and the “Ice Man” covers for the regular and deluxe versions, respectively, are awesome.

Now, many fans are concerned about the Madden Curse. However, quarterbacks have seemingly negated that curse in recent memory as displayed below.

The 2026 NFL season cannot get here soon enough. Caleb Williams gracing the cover of Madden 27 is just the start to the excitement for Chicago Bears fans.
