Madden skips a wide release and streams on Prime Video Nov 18

Amazon MGM's John Madden biopic with Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale goes to Prime Video worldwide on 18 November, after only a limited cinema run.

Amazon has confirmed that Madden, David O. Russell's film about NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden, premieres on Prime Video on 18 November 2026. It will be available in every country where Prime Video operates.

Instead of a wide theatrical release, the film gets only a short, limited run in a few US cinemas so it can qualify for awards. Reports differ on the exact theatre dates, so for most viewers Prime Video is the only way to see it.

Nicolas Cage plays Madden and Christian Bale plays Raiders owner Al Davis, with Kathryn Hahn, John Mulaney, Sienna Miller and Shane Gillis in the cast. The timing puts the film in the middle of the NFL season.
