If you and your friends have the dream of managing NFL teams, Madden NFL 25‘s Franchise mode is the perfect option to test yourselves (albeit on the virtual platform).

I love playing the Franchise mode as a solo journey, where I am up against the AI managers. But there’s an option to conduct a league between you and your friends, where each of you takes charge of a franchise. Let’s take a look at the exact steps of setting up a multiplayer league and how your friends can join them.

How to create a multiplayer league with Madden NFL 25 Franchise mode

Creating a multiplayer league in Madden NFL 25 isn’t very different from a solo league.

  • Open and load the game.
  • Select Franchise.
  • Go to League Creation and pick the second option.
  • Select the franchise of your choice.
  • Proceed to the next stage to open league settings. Here, you can tweak different settings, including making it public or private (password-protected).

To play with your friends, make sure to create a private league. The maximum number of users is 32. Next, note down the league name and password and share it with your friends.

If you or your friend want to join a league, they can do so from the Franchise mode as well. They will have to enter the league name and password to join the league. Once they’re in, they can pick a franchise of their liking and continue with the different aspects of management.

That’s pretty much it when it comes to playing Franchise mode with your friends. Just make sure to coordinate and decide who’s picking which franchise so there’s no quarrel about it later.
