According to the EA Sports website and twitter Madden NFL 16 will be free to play over this weekend.
The time schedules for the trial are the following:
BEGIN: 11/20 Friday – 12 AM ET
END: 11/23 Monday – 12 AM ET
They also inform that the Xbox One trial will be limited to 10h of gameplay, contrary to the PS4 version that will be unlimited. (personally I found this a bit unfair, it should be unlimited for both regarding preferences)
The fact that the trial has a limit of 10h suggests that it has something in common with the EA Access trial, that is already available since the games launched, but there is no information about if those who already played the trial from EA Access will also be able to play the trial again during the weekend. I’ve questioned the official Twitter account for the game and so far no reply was given.
