Tottenham Hotspur share a special relationship with the NFL, having hosted numerous games at their stadium over the years. And with the first NFL match to take place there since 2019 came the announcement that EA SPORTS Madden NFL 22 released bespoke Tottenham Hotspur kits in the game, making Spurs the first football club to be featured in Madden NFL in franchise history.
The NFL was back in London for the first time since 2019 with the Atlanta Falcons taking on the New York Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend past. And to mark the occasion, EA Sports announced that the stadium – which hosts two NFL games annually – will be included in Madden 22. On top of that, Spurs revealed that their 2021/22 kit will be available in the game as an optional strip for players in its ‘The Yard’ mode, Madden NFL’s newest mode that allows players to experience backyard-inspired football with fast-paced, small-sided gameplay – think Volta in FIFA and you’re on the right lines.
Todd Kline, Chief Commercial Officer, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “We are excited to continue our partnership with the NFL by hosting both of the London Games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this year. Through this latest collaboration with our joint partners EA SPORTS, we now become the first Premier League club ever featured in Madden, enabling fans with a passion for both sports to access both our home and third Nike kits whilst playing the game.”
For those heading to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium this weekend to watch the second NFL game at the location between Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars, EA SPORTS has also created a unique Madden NFL 22 mural in the Tottenham area, which features a special QR code that will take fans to Tottenham Hotspur content in the game.
NFL fans across Europe can receive a 30% discount on Madden NFL 22 across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and a 35% discount on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Origin and Steam, and Google Stadia.
