Both players will be able to choose their preference but the match will use the settings of whoever is selected as the home team.

Online H2H will lay the foundation to have more live service updates throughout the year. Each season will provide its own Ranked event with a new opportunity to achieve top dog status and prove your skills.

You’ll earn Gauntlet-Exclusive player rewards after 10 wins, but stay locked in, because two losses and it’s game over.

6-on-6 Events

We’ll be introducing some 6-on-6 events this year! These events will let you compete in small-sided 6-on-6 football, a totally new way to play with your existing Ultimate Team roster. You’ll take on solo challenges that will have you reconsider how to best utilize your squad. We anticipate this being a more approachable format for MUT beginners as well as a new, fun experience for the MUT veterans. You’ll have more open field, more space to see a route develop and hit the right read. Stay tuned for more information, we anticipate the first event coming this Fall.

Solo Seasons

Some of our most avid MUT gamers rarely play head-to-head against other players. This year, we’re introducing more robust solo experiences for our offline players. Online H2H seasons mode is now available for offline players! Players will enter solo seasons, play an entire solo season, make the playoffs and eventually make the Super Bowl all against AI opponents. You’ll even be able to move up and down divisions with an escalating difficulty curve, just like in Head-to-Head Seasons. Truly endless play for solo players allowing them to have full competitive games without having to wait for the next content drop.

New Challenge Types

Introducing… Epic Challenges! New to Ultimate Team in Madden NFL 25, these solo challenges are not for the faint of heart. The challenges demand a strong coaching sense and an impeccable playcalling strategy. Only the most dedicated users will be able to conquer these grueling tasks. Time to test your stick skills!

Now a permanent fixture, Gridiron Forge challenges are back! Gridiron Forge challenges are quick challenges that escalate in difficulty. New ones will be added all year long.

Streamlined Experience

Refreshed MUT Presentation

You spend all year building your ideal lineup. Well, you deserve to show that lineup off! In Madden NFL 25, we’ve refreshed the in-game MUT presentation. You’ll see your stars standing up front-and-center prior to kickoff of your game. This is our first step in providing you with opportunities to better celebrate what you accomplish!

New Lineup Experience

Ultimate Team has always been part football simulation and part deck building. In Madden NFL 25 we are streamlining that deck building experience, making it as easy and as fun to use as the in-game experience. For starters, your lineup screen will now suggest improvements and show you how they impact your team’s overall rating. This includes strategy items! You can now easily see, when you equip a strategy item, which players are being impacted by the strategy item without having to transition screens. One pain point we know you felt in lineups was setting your depth charts after a substitution. This year in MUT, you’ll be able to drag and drop player items across your lineup! The goal here is to make your lineup-setting experience as quick and easy as possible, allowing you more room for experimentation. Looking for a specific Theme Team? Building the best 6-on-6 lineup? Lineup customization will be easier than ever. We’re looking forward to seeing you get in the lab and experiment, unleashing the power of many lineup combinations!

We’ll make setting your 6-on-6 lineups easy, too. 6-on-6 positions are designated in your existing lineup. For example, you’ll see a “6-on-6” tag on your QB1’s item in your lineup. This means you’ll be able to jump into the 6-on-6 gameplay without having to manage two separate lineups. If you’d rather manage two lineups, you can save a different 6-on-6 lineup, the option is yours.

More Seasons, More Content

In Madden NFL 23 we had five seasons. In Madden NFL 24 we had seven seasons. Madden NFL 25 will have eight program-filled seasons!

Last year you loved the amount of content we released, especially late in the season, after the Super Bowl. We released more than 50 unique Ultimate Team programs, each one bringing new ways to build your Ultimate Team. We’re going to provide even more programming in Madden NFL 25. We’re determined to keep that momentum going. As long as our players are enjoying the content we’re putting out, we’re going to keep creating new experiences. We want Madden to feel fresh and rewarding 52 weeks a year.

Dev Note: We re-visited every single MUT program from Madden NFL 24. In doing so, we re-worked some fan favorites and developed new ones to keep things fresh throughout the year. Stay tuned!

In summary, we’re beyond excited for you to enjoy new ways to play Madden Ultimate Team in Madden NFL 25 – whether you play competitively, solo or both. We’re looking forward to seeing your powerful lineup customization with a refreshed, streamlined presentation. And of course, we’ll be delivering rewarding, meaningful experiences every week, all the way up until the launch of Madden NFL 26. See you on the sticks!
