Madden NFL 23 Championship Series is Underway with $1.7 Million Up For Grabs

The Madden NFL 23 Championship Series is underway on the official Twitch and YouTube channels. The MCS Ultimate Kickoff event runs until 11:00 PM ET tonight and again on Friday evening from 7:00 PM ET to 11:00 PM ET.

The tournament features the world’s best Madden players battling it out with a season total prize pool of $1.7 million up for grabs. Fans can track the status of their favorite players on the MCS power rankings page.

An extension of the Madden NFL Championship Series (MCS) partnership between EA and the National Football League was signed last month. The extension comes after Madden NFL’s best season ever last year, which saw its average minute audience grow 4x from the previous year for MCS 22.

As the NFL and EA continue to grow and deepen NFL fandom through esports, the agreement will align MCS with key NFL events throughout the season. Using creative, humanizing storytelling to entertain Madden fans and football fans alike, the NFL and EA will work together to elevate Madden NFL competitors into stars.
