Competition platform Challengermode formally announced that it will serve as the official platform of the Madden NFL 25 Championship Series (MCS).
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Beginning this week, Madden NFL 25 players in supported regions can start competing on the road to the Madden Bowl, which takes place in February 2025—in tandem with Super Bowl LIX. During the 2024-2025 season, all online competitions will be hosted at the official MCS Space on Challengermode, powered by its “Enterprise Space Product.”
The new season of the MCS is offering a total prize pool of $1.7M USD.
Electronic Arts and the National Football League announced details of the Madden NFL 25 Championship Series at the end of July. MCS 25 will feature the top Madden NFL 25 players from the U.S., UK, Mexico, Germany, Canada, and Australia competing across six tournaments for a share of an overall prize pool of $1.7M throughout the 2024-2025 season.
EA also announced at the time that USAA had been named the official insurance partner of the MCS 25 season. As part of that multi-year deal, USAA will offer in-game activations, including branded jerseys and a custom virtual stadium aptly called the “USAA Stadium” that will serve as the home to all MCS Madden Ultimate Team gameplay during the partnership.
