Every Sports Game Releasing Within The Next Year

gamerant.com:

There are few things that are givens in this world, but annual sports games are one of them. From the very conception of the first home consoles, sports games have always been a staple. By the mid 1990s, annual sports releases were becoming the norm, with franchises like Madden NFL and FIFA rearing their heads every year consistently. In these early days, yearly sports titles were truly innovative, attempting to capture the sport as best they could with the technology they were given.

Nowadays, millions pick up the new FIFA, NBA, or Madden every year, and publishers keep raking in the sales, even if some big sports titles fail to live up to expectations. With half of the year left, there are still plenty of sports games set to release, including some fan-favorites, and some bold newcomers.
