If you’ve been trying to figure out how to relocate a Team in Madden 26 Franchise Mode, you’re not alone. Moving a team used to be a slow grind in older Madden games. You had to wait through an entire season, go through multiple approval stages, and hope the game finally let you pull the trigger.
Madden 26 changes that entirely as relocation is faster, more flexible, and far less of a headache. Whether you want a fresh start in a new city, a complete rebrand with new uniforms and stadium, or you just can’t stand your current setup, you can make the move instantly.
Madden 26 – How to Relocate Your Franchise Team
You can’t relocate your franchise team as a player in Madden 26. You’ll need to choose to be either a coach or a general manager when you set up your franchise. Once that’s locked in, head over to the main menu and scroll down to the GM Office. From there, keep scrolling until you hit the “Relocate or Rebuild” option. This menu gives you two paths:
- Rebuild the stadium to give your current setup a facelift.
- Fully relocate the team to a new city.
Relocation gives you a big list of cities to pick from, and Madden 26 adds several new ones. Places like Rio, Buenos Aires, and Omaha, Nebraska, are fresh additions. Some returning options like St. Louis, Oakland, and San Diego now let you choose new teams if you want. Other available spots range from Canton, Ohio to Brooklyn, Dublin, London, Paris, Tokyo, Melbourne, Honolulu, Anchorage, Vancouver, Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, and more.
For example, picking Vancouver lets you rebrand as the Vancouver Elks. Once you confirm, you can choose your stadium and lock it in, no season-long wait required.
How To See Franchise Changes in Madden 26
After relocation, your team identity changes instantly, a lot like changing classes in Battlefield 6. You can check your lineup, and players will already be sporting the new uniforms like seeing Lamar Jackson in the Elks’ gear right away. The best part is that the stadium updates immediately, too.
You can jump into a home game in the same season and find yourself in your brand-new home field, no waiting until next year like in older Maddens. Whether it’s raining in Vancouver or sunny in Honolulu, you’ll be playing in your chosen city right away. This is a quick and straightforward way to modify your Relocate Team in Madden 26 Franchise Mode, providing an experience that feels as immediate as it should in a video game.
