Best Offensive Playbooks in Madden NFL 26

While every team has a solid set of plays in Madden NFL 26, some offensive playbooks are stronger than others. Thankfully, you can choose a different offensive playbook for your Madden 26 team if you want to run their offense differently.

Since there are so many teams in the NFL, there's bound to be at least one offensive playbook that fits your playstyle. If you feel like your team isn't making the most out of their star players, you can just change their offensive playbook to incorporate more shotgun passes, RPOs, running plays, or whatever you desire. These are the best offensive playbooks in Madden NFL 26.

Green Bay Packers

The Packers have one of the best playbooks in Madden NFL 26, especially if you like shotgun passes and short-range throws. The Packers playbook also has some excellent Bunch plays, which are some of the best offensive play types in the game. There are also a lot of Cluster formation plays as well, so there are plenty of opportunities for a good QB and solid receivers to shine with this playbook.

New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints have a very strong offense in the NFL, and that carries over to their offensive playbook. It has a wide range of short passes that let your quarterback flex their skills, whether they toss to a star receiver or run the ball themselves. The Saints playbook is also surprisingly balanced, offering under center, pistol, and even wildcat formations. If your QB has an arm, they can also take advantage of the deep pass plays in the Saints playbook, like Y-Sail or Flood H Post, to get some crazy yardage.

Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers have one of the best run-focused playbooks in Madden NFL 26, so it's a great fit if your team has some fast running backs to cover for weaker receivers. It's filled with singleback plays and makes heavy use of the Y Off Trips Close formation, which has some of the hardest plays to defend against in Madden 26. The Chargers even get access to the Split T formation, which isn't available on many other playbooks. It's a nightmare for the defense, especially if you're in scoring position.

Chicago Bears

The Bears have a really solid playbook this year with a nice mix of passing and running options. There aren't any pistol plays, but there are more than enough shotgun and singleback formations to make up for that. The Bears also get the Slot Right formation, which has some deep passes and RPOs that are incredibly hard for the defense to read.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles playbook is one of the most popular choices in Madden 26, and for good reason. It's loaded with crazy plays across several different formations, and it'll place heavy pressure on the defense as they struggle to adapt. Their Normal Y Off Close and Y Off Trio Close selections are remarkably strong with deep passes and screens to keep the defense on their toes.

The best part of the Eagles playbook is the Trips TE formation, however, whic

h lets you dominate offensively if you have a high-rated tight end on your roster. There are opportunities for safe, short passes to secure yardage and explosive deep passes if your man can break past the defensive line and get open downfield.

These playbooks are already excellent, but you can customize them even further to fit your Madden NFL 26 team. With the right playbook and a great coach at the helm, you can take any team to the top in Franchise mode.
