Find out how you can Showboat in Madden NFL 26 while running towards the end zone and when it’s the right time to do it.
Madden NFL 26 is here, and so are the plenty of new showboat animations that players can unleash while running to the end zone. Each of these moves is outrageous and can be risky if you trigger them at the wrong time. However, the satisfaction you get when they are timed right and you get a touchdown is unmatched.
However, if you’re new to the game, you might not know how you can showboat in Madden NFL 26. So, here’s a detailed guide on this particular mechanic in the game, including when it’s safe to use it.
How To Showboat in Madden NFL 26
The following are the control schematics to begin showboating in the game.
- For PlayStation players: Press and hold R2/L2 + X
- For Xbox players: Press and hold RT/LT + A
If you let go of R2/RT, L2/LT, or X/A, the showboat animation will stop midway. This is a great way to avoid being caught unawares when one of the defenders gets too close for comfort. After you stop the animation, you can resume your normal run.

When Should You Showboat and When Should You Avoid It?
As we said before, showboating is a highly risky maneuver that can increase your chances of fumbling the ball when a defender tackles you. In these scenarios, the defense will be able to complete fumble recoveries. Or, the opponent might get a touchback, which puts them in a good field position. Showboating also reduces the speed of the player in question, which can sometimes give the defense enough time to catch up to them. The maneuver can also risk injury for the player.
So, we suggest showboating only when you know that you’re far enough ahead of any defensive players and you can complete the run even with the slowed pace. Since there’s no benefit of showboating apart from bragging rights, use it as sparingly as possible.
