Madden NFL 26 simulation predicts Seahawks to win Super Bowl LX

EA SPORTS’ official Madden NFL 26 simulation forecasts a dramatic Super Bowl LX victory for the Seattle Seahawks, defeating the New England Patriots 23–20 in a tightly contested match-up.

The simulation, powered by a decade of real NFL data and millions of Madden games, models player performance, key statistics and in-game scenarios. EA SPORTS said its systems run up to 23,000 full NFL seasons daily.

Sam Darnold is projected as Super Bowl MVP, completing 26 of 36 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is shown with six receptions for 84 yards and one score, while Kenneth Walker III is credited with 76 rushing yards, 41 receiving yards and the game-winning touchdown.

Kayshon Boutte leads the Patriots’ offence with 72 receiving yards and a touchdown. The simulation shows New England rallying from a 14–3 halftime deficit, including a fumble return touchdown by Christian Gonzalez that gives them a late three-point lead.
