As a seasoned gamer and a die-hard Madden fan, I can hardly contain my excitement for this year’s Madden Championship Series! The move to Full Sail University’s Orlando Health Fortress is not just a change of venue; it’s a game-changer! The colossal LED wall, the concert-level sound system, and the opportunity for students to get hands-on experience – it’s like a dream come true for us Madden enthusiasts.


As the NFL regular season kicks off, so does the annual Madden Championship Series. The world-class Madden esports competition now has a new residence, and the announcement also sheds light on important dates for this year’s schedule. Even Madden 25 Ultimate Team enthusiasts who aren’t aiming for cash prizes this year should mark their calendars for these release dates.

Madden 25 Championship Series teams up with Full Sail University for six major events

2021 is witnessing an escalation in the MCS with Full Sail University hosting six major tournaments at their Orlando Health Fortress, America’s biggest collegiate esports venue. This massive arena features a stunning 10 million pixel LED screen, a fully-equipped LED lighting system, high-quality concert audio equipment, and can accommodate up to 500 spectators during these events. Full Sail alumni and students will be involved in the production of each event, and the MCS is also supporting a scholarship program for Full Sail University students.

“Andrew Echanique, Director of NA Football Esports at EA, stated that Full Sail University is an ideal setting for the upcoming MCS 25 season. He noted that the Fortress not only offers specialized technical facilities for our production team but also provides valuable educational experiences for students to craft unforgettable moments for our players and spectators.”

Top-tier Madden 25 players will journey to Winter Park, Florida for a chance to win $100,000 at the Kickoff Classic tournament, marking the start of the Madden Championship Series year. Even if you’re not competing, it’s worth keeping an eye on this annual event as there are two compelling reasons to follow the Madden Championship Series.

1. Audience members have the opportunity to witness strategies and moves being used by top global players during two out of six tournaments this year, all of which are streamed from The Fortress. Moreover, MUT 25 gamers may participate in in-game themed events that correspond with some MCS events, enabling them to earn free Ultimate Team cards simply by streaming each MCS broadcast.

Here’s the annual schedule of MCS 25 events just revealed:

  • Kickoff Classic (Finals Broadcast September 4, 2024)
  • Kickoff Challenge (Finals Broadcast September 10-11, 2024)
  • Most Feared Challenge (Finals Broadcast October 23, 2024)
  • Unstoppable Challenge (Finals Broadcast November 13, 2024)
  • Zero Chill Challenge (Finals Broadcast December 18, 2024)
  • MCS 25 Playoffs (Round of 14 & Quarter Finals Broadcast January 21-22, 2025, then Quarter Finals & Semifinals Broadcast January 29, 2025)

Here, you’re welcome to sign up now for the chance to join the Kickoff Challenge live. Registration for the Round of 14 and Quarter Finals during the MCS 25 Playoffs will be possible at a later time. Previous MCS champions frequently had the opportunity to tailor and impact a Ultimate Team card that would appear in a future event series.

This year, it could be me (or any other dedicated Madden fan) who gets the chance to see our designs come to life for the upcoming Most Feared or Zero Chill event! While the exact schedule hasn’t been finalized just yet, keep an eye out for these exciting in-game events like Zero Chill and Most Feared to launch shortly following each MCS event in MUT 25.
