Madden NFL 26 – Madden Ultimate Team

In Season 1, we'll be kicking things off with a pair of events for our Preseason Standouts program: Long Drive. You will take on opponents in either H2H or CPU under special house rules. Following this up will be Campus Heroes with College OT for H2H players. Solo players can look forward to Campus Chaos, a unique twist on a Solo Season where you will play through four years of college (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior), each represented by two games serving as the semester. This culminates in a Graduation showdown against the Campus Heroes themselves.

Our final program of Season 1, Game Time, will launch our first team building event of the year. For H2H players, you'll take on an abbreviated 5 game H2H Season with the most lucrative rewards for those that can manage to string together multiple Super Bowl wins. For Solo gamers, you'll take on a Game Time twist on our new Solo Champions mode, including a slugfest against the Game Time Champions.

As the year goes on, we'll be delivering a wide variety of events, some of which are making their very first appearance in Ultimate Team. For example, while the Trick-or-Treat CPU event will return for Most Feared, it will come with a new twist: randomized House progression, each with its own house rules and attribute modifiers. Zero Chill will be bringing the heat with a new MUT team-building event, where your event rewards will directly feed into your progression in the event as you bolster an event-specific lineup. You can also expect throughout the year some unique squad opportunities, a new type of battlescore-driven CPU event, as well as the return of some events that have been missing for a while now, such as the "Race" house rules event.
