Madden NFL 25 Championship Series
The road to the Madden Bowl begins with the fan-favorite Kickoff Classic, offering competitors their first chance at valuable MCS points and USD $100,000 in prizes. Taking place during the Early Access period – available to those who pre-ordered the Madden NFL 25 Deluxe Edition – just days before the game's worldwide release, the Kickoff Classic will reward the players who can quickly adapt to new features, including signature styles and Physics-Based Tacking powered by BOOM Tech, and new mechanics with ball carriers. The proximity of the Kickoff Classic to game launch not only gives fans an early look at competitive gameplay, but also gives emerging and established competitors a clean slate. All eyes will be on reigning MCS champion Henry Leverette as he looks to continue his dominance on the virtual gridiron and add to his total career earnings of more than USD $1 million.
Monthly Ultimate Challenges to Offer USD $600,000
