How to Relocate Team in Madden 26 Franchise Mode

In Madden NFL 26, the Franchise mode allows players to step into the shoes of both the team manager and coach of their preferred squad.

Additionally, you have the power to make broader strategic choices, such as moving your franchise to a different state or city. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the process of relocating your team in Madden 26, helping you usher in a new era for your franchise.

How to Relocate Your Team in Madden 26 Franchise Mode

Build Your Legacy In a New Home

Navigate to the ‘GM’s Office’ from the main Franchise mode menu. Afterward, look for the ‘Relocate or Rebuild’ option at the bottom of the sub-menu that appears. On the following screen, you can opt to either rebuild your stadium or move the franchise. Pick the ‘Relocate the franchise’ option.

After making your selection, a map of the United States will appear on the screen. Navigate through various locations for potential team relocation by using the left stick’s left and right buttons. Each location offers distinct Market Sizes, Personalities, and Fan Interests. Based on your preference for the ideal fan base or if you have a specific location in mind, choose where you want to transfer your franchise and press X (for PS5) or A (for Xbox) to finalize your decision.

Later on, you’ll choose if you wish to take along someone with the same name as yourself to a fresh city. Please remember to utilize the left joystick to browse through the various possibilities available here.

Some team names are only available in certain states, such as the Oilers in Texas.

As a devoted fan, I wanted to clarify that the Market Size and City Personality aren’t part of the table below as they vary depending on the city you decide to establish your franchise in. Regardless of the type of stadium you construct, this doesn’t alter the presented figures. The data provided is specific to the Baltimore Ravens’ relocation. It’s essential to note that the weekly costs can fluctuate based on the chosen team. For instance, when opting for the Tennessee Titans, the weekly cost for a basic canopy stadium was approximately $0.11M.

After selecting and finalizing your preferred stadium option, you’ll have successfully moved your franchise. For those wanting to leave their mark on their beloved team’s legacy, relocating them and restructuring the roster via a draft could be highly impactful. Additionally, guiding them to Super Bowl victory is an exciting prospect. If a fantasy draft is your starting point, ensure you select some of the top, swift wide receivers available to give your offense a competitive edge.
