The best football moments are always followed up by a celebration, which is why Madden NFL 26 has a huge list of taunts to choose from. The celebrations are toned down compared to the more energetic ones featured in College Football 26, but there are still quite a few signature celebrations and generic taunts to use after big plays in Madden NFL 26.
Unlike College Football 26, which has a huge list of custom inputs for bespoke taunts and dances, Madden 26 keeps things simple with a four-way choice after a touchdown or big play. Every player can do most of Madden NFL 26‘s celebrations, but EA has also added dozens of signature celebrations for the most popular NFL players. These are all of the celebrations in Madden NFL 26 and how to pull them off in-game.
How to Taunt in Madden NFL 26
You can perform a celebration in Madden NFL 26 after a big play like a touchdown, interception, or first down. When the time comes, you’ll be able to choose from four options with the right stick on your controller. These options vary from player to player, but everyone has access to a dance, a flex, and other generic taunts.
You can also perform a celebration run (showboat) on your way to the endzone by holding down both triggers and pressing the X/A/B button on PlayStation/Xbox/Switch.
All Madden NFL 26 Signature Celebrations
If you’re playing as a famous NFL player who’s known for certain moves, then you can perform their signature celebrations when prompted instead of the generic dances and taunts. Just choose the Signature option with the right stick when it shows up.
These are all the signature celebrations in Madden NFL 26, including every celebration from last year’s game and the ones that have been discovered so far this year.

Madden NFL 26 also introduces hot-spot celebrations, which give you even more control after a touchdown. You’ll retain control of your player for a few seconds after scoring, and you can use that time to run to specific parts of the endzone for context-sensitive celebrations. You can interact with the crowd, shadow box with the goal post, and more with this new feature.
Most of these animations have just been ported over from last year’s game, but there are some new signature celebrations to spice things up in Madden NFL 26. Plus, they look even better this year thanks to Madden 26‘s new features.
