The Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES) is a single dipole antenna operating at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory. EDGES has recently yielded the strongest direct constraints to date on 21 cm emission from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and should soon rule out rapid reionization scenarios. I will report on the latest EDGES measurements and forecast the unique contribution of EDGES to 21 cm cosmology in the MWA and SKA eras.
