ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Some of the top Madden NFL players are heading to Central Florida as the Madden NFL 27 Championship Series begins competition at Full Sail University.
The new MCS Pro League begins Tuesday at the university’s Orlando Health Fortress. Eight competitors will go head-to-head over several weeks for spots in the playoffs and ultimately the Madden Bowl.
This marks the third consecutive season Full Sail has hosted the Madden Championship Series, but this season brings a first: Madden Bowl 27 will be held on the Full Sail campus in February 2027.
The partnership also gives Full Sail students hands-on experience with live esports production, including broadcast operations and content creation. EA also plans to hire 100 Full Sail graduates for production roles supporting the season.
The Pro League runs from Sept. 15 through Dec. 16, with Madden Bowl 27 scheduled for Feb. 9-11, 2027.
