Ultimate Team (MUT) is coming back to Madden 26, with improvements for solo and online play. Between new events, a new Pack Helper, and new ways to earn rewards, Madden 26 seeks to make the mode more fun than ever. Without further ado, let’s take a look at all things Madden 26 Ultimate Team
Madden 26 Ultimate team features more programs and events throughout the season to keep MUT players coming back for more. In fact, each major content drop brings new Live Events, including a CPU and H2H event.
In Season 1, the developers already shared details on a few programs, including:
And as the year goes on, you can expect to see many other new events. Furthermore, some events will be returning, like Trick-Or-Treat CPU for Most Feared. There’s also Zero Chill, a new MUT Team-building event where your rewards “feed directly into your progression”.
Of course, as you play in events and build your team, all of your progress contributes to your Season Pass. But in Madden 26, MUT adds a Seasonal Event Pass. Events in Madden 26 all contribute to their own Pass instead of one.
This allows both Solo and H2H players the opportunity to earn rewards in whatever order they see fit. With different dedicated passes, you’ll have an easier time identifying which rewards you want to grind for.
In addition to the Seasonal Event Pass comes the Weekly Spotlight Pass. This pass offers even more freedom for players to earn the rewards they want. All of these programs share a single token, providing you with a choice to decide which rewards you want.
Each season will feature a Collector’s Series, a weekly program that varies each time. Furthermore, each one comes with a unique Collection Champion. So if you earn all of the Champions, you’ll earn a better Champion player on your roster.
Solo Play Overhaul – Madden 26
Solo Play is receiving an overhaul this year in terms of structure and progression. In Madden 26, you won’t need to play H2H to complete challenges and build your team.
Madden 26 MUT introduces Solo Champions. This 12-game weekly mode escalates the difficulty every week, serving as the ultimate challenge for solo players. Each week, you earn a token to enter, and you can earn more by completing weekly objectives. Choose your difficulty, and build your battlescore to earn rewards.
Furthermore, Madden 26 MUT also adds The League. This casual Solo Seasons mode requires you to earn 10 wins in half games to enter the playoffs. Keep winning all the way to the Super Bowl to earn even more rewards.
Additionally, EA Sports is replacing Ultimate Solo Seasons with The Run. This four-level mode features five, two-quarter games. Progress through the levels and earn rewards after each escalating challenge.
