The Madden 24 Wild Card Round Roster Update Release Date arrives this week in time for the first round of the NFL playoffs. As usual, these updates focus on adjusting player OVRs, while also taking into account any FA signings or roster cuts. However, these updates typically don't change gameplay or alter player likeness. Without further ado, let's find out when the first roster update for the playoffs releases.

Madden 24 Wild Card Round Roster Update Release Date 

We believe the Madden 24 Wild Card Round Roster Update release date to be Thursday, January 11th, 2024. Just like last week, we expect roster update to release on Thursday, even without a Thursday Night Football game this week. However, on the off chance it doesn't release Thursday, expect it to drop any time before the playoffs begin this Saturday.

Make sure to check out our Madden 24 guide on how to update your rosters in-game. Overall, the process takes a moment and only requires an internet connection to complete.

The final week of the NFL season saw a big shakeup in the AFC. With the Bills defeating the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo secured the No. 2 seed after going an impressive 5-0 run after their Bye week. Fortunately for them, they get to go back home to host the Pittsburgh Steelers, who likely heads to Buffalo this weekend without T.J. Watt.

On the other hand, Miami now heads to Kansas City for a rematch of their week 9 matchup. The Dolphins lost their first meeting 21-14, but look to take revenge against a suspect Chiefs team. However, you never know with Andy Reid and Mahomes, who might just flip a switch and make history.

Of course, almost every other wild card game holds some special meaning:
