EA revealed this year's MCS schedule, and in addition to the 5 major tournaments, including the Madden Bowl, there will now be an MCS Pro League. As always, watching the events live on Twitch this year will reward Twitch Drops in Madden Ultimate Team 27. If you're competing in MCS qualifying, you will receive a reward pack in MUT for each event.
The MCS Pro League features 8 of the top Madden players competing in head-to-head games throughout the year, with the top 4 automatically securing a spot in this year's Madden Bowl. There will be 4 spots in the Pro League up for grabs in the Qualifier that opens on August 22nd, with the remaining 4 spots going to Drini, JonBeast, Astro, and Henry based on their top performances in M26.
