Madden Championship Series returns with a $1.7 million prize pool

As a dedicated Madden gamer and avid follower of the Madden Championship Series, I couldn’t be more excited for the return of this epic competition with Madden 25! The previous series set new records in terms of participants and viewership, and it looks like they’re aiming even higher.


The Madden Championship series has returned with the arrival of Madden 25, offering a huge cash prize for the most skilled players.

The final event of the Madden 24 Championship Series drew a larger-than-ever number of registrants and spectators. For its successor, the Madden 25 Championship Series aims to surpass this feat by collaborating with the NFL and USAA, offering an impressive reward fund to competitors.

Let’s go over all of the newly released details and the schedule of events.
