Madden 22 ratings are easily one of the most controversial and hotly debated topics each year as we barrel towards the title's release date.
This year, things will dominate an entire week, as Madden 22 ratings reveal week has been confirmed to take place on ESPN!
ESPN Madden 22 Ratings Reveal Week: Date, Time, and Schedule
It's almost ratings time! EA Sports has announced that this year we won't just get one big reveal, but a week-long event revealing ratings!
The Madden 22 Ratings Reveal Week is set to take place on ESPN between July 25, 2021 and July 30, 2021.
We've got a full schedule now of what will be revealed and at which date and time, but there is one gray area which is SportsCenter.
The phrasing used by EA Sports for the schedule made several days sound like the SportsCenter reveal would arrive first, with additional NFL Live coverage after.
The only mid-day timeslot that matches up is between Noon ET and 2pm ET, so it's likely any SportsCenter ratings reveals will be during that window.
The following details are under the assumption that will be the reveal window for SportsCenter announcements, but it's possible those could take place at a different time earlier or later in the day.
This is also informed by the fact that the first reveal each day is expected to take place on Get Up!, which airs at 8am ET on ESPN all week, and will see a new 99 Club member announced each day.
Here's the full schedule for Madden 22 Ratings Reveal Week on ESPN:
- Sunday, July 25: Ratings Kickoff Special at 12:30pm ET on SportsCenter, hosted by Laura Rutledge and Mina Kimes
- Monday, July 26: 99 Club Reveal at 8am ET on Get Up!
- Monday, July 26: Top 10 Wide Receivers with Chad Johnson at 10am ET on First Take

While things look pretty set as of now, we'll make sure to update this schedule if they announce any changes to when we'll learn about each day's ratings.
Madden 22 99 Club Predictions
It's no surprise that the 99 Club will be a central focus of Ratings Week for Madden 22, and they're going to use it to kickoff each day on Get Up!.
We don't know for sure if the first of those 99 Club reveals will come during the Ratings Kickoff Special on Sunday, July 25, but it's possible we could get one then as well.
Exactly who gets the nod is up for debate, but these are the players we think will become prestigious 99 Club members in Madden 22:
- Tom Brady
- Patrick Mahomes
- Aaron Rodgers
- Aaron Donald
- Davante Adams
- DeAndre Hopkins
If all six ring true, that could mean one per day with an extra either during the special on Sunday or the finale on Friday evening.
