The launch 99 Club had six 99 OVR players; current player ratings must be checked in EA's searchable database because launch ratings are not a permanent list.
Madden NFL 27 has two different ratings answers: the July 31, 2026 launch snapshot named six 99 OVR players, while EA's ratings database is the place to check values that may have changed since launch.
The launch 99 Club snapshot
EA's Ratings Reveal Recap names these six players as the launch 99 Club:
| Player | Launch status in EA's reveal |
|---|---|
| Myles Garrett | Returning member; third induction |
| Josh Allen | Returning member |
| Ja'Marr Chase | Returning member |
| Jaxon Smith-Njigba | First-time member |
| Trey McBride | First-time member |
| Matthew Stafford | First-time member |
This is a dated launch answer, not a promise that every player remains at 99 OVR. EA says the 99 Club is “not set in stone,” and its reveal discusses the ratings database as a searchable source for the wider player pool.
How to check a current player rating
Open EA's Madden NFL 27 player ratings database. Search for the player, team, position, or attribute you need. If the value matters for a Franchise, Superstar, roster, or lineup decision, keep the date of the lookup with your note.
The current database and the launch article serve different jobs:
- Launch snapshot: answers who EA placed in the 99 Club at the July 31 reveal.
- Current database: answers what EA currently returns for a player or attribute at the time you check.
Do not copy the launch table into a current-season lineup decision without checking the database again. This page does not duplicate every mutable player value because a dated list can become wrong while the official lookup remains current.
What the launch reveal adds
The reveal also gives launch-era context for the six names. Garrett's profile emphasizes strength, tackling, power move, and block shedding; Allen's highlights include throw-on-the-run and throw-power ratings; Smith-Njigba and Chase are discussed in the receiver context; McBride is described as a top tight end; and Stafford's reveal calls out accuracy and toughness. Those details belong to the launch discussion and should not be treated as an immutable roster ranking.
