The world premiere of Madden was held on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at The Culver Theater in Los Angeles, bringing Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale together on the red carpet for David O. Russell’s NFL biopic.
Cage stars as legendary NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden, while Bale plays Raiders owner Al Davis. Kathryn Hahn, Sienna Miller, John Mulaney and Shane Gillis also star in the film, which Russell directed and co-wrote with Cambron Clark.
The biopic follows Madden from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with the Raiders to becoming football’s most recognisable voice — and the namesake of the Madden NFL video game franchise.
Madden opens in select US theatres on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, before streaming globally on Prime Video from Wednesday, November 18, 2026.
With two of Hollywood’s most intense screen presences sharing the frame, the premiere capped a busy week for football on film — and the early buzz suggests the pairing of Cage and Bale is the draw the studio is banking on.
