Franchise Mode in Madden NFL 26 is all about forming your dream team and working on the best possible way to get to the top. This also means relocating your team to another state or city for better opportunities. But the process of relocating your entire team in Franchise Mode is not well explained, so this guide will make things easier by explaining the process in Madden 26.
Madden 26 Franchise Mode Relocation Guide

After assigning yourself as the GM or coach, enter Franchise Mode’s Home menu and select the GM’s Office > Relocate to start the relocating process. This is also the same option to go to when you want to rebuild your stadium, just select Rebuild instead of Relocate to create a new stadium for your team. Once you select Relocate, a view of the world map will appear on your screen. Use your controller to cycle through each country and city to view different city stats like Fan Interest, Market Size, and Personality.
After making a decision based on your interests, select your preferred city and press X (PS)/ A (Xbox) to confirm. You get to pick a new name when you relocate, or keep the one you have. Another decision that you need to make is the type of stadium you wish to build, and this will boil down to the cost of building and maintenance, seating capacity, size, funding, and more. Finalizing your decision will move your team to the new city, helping you start your fantasy drafting from scratch.
All Cities in Madden 26

You get to choose between 34 different cities across the world to move your team to, and each city offers different personalities and market sizes. Depending on the type of engagement you prefer, scroll through the various cities to pick the one that suits your team’s personality.
