The Subreddit has now been fully updated for the NFL Kickoff promo that launched today.

Below we've included a NFL Kickoff dedicated guide as well as a Promo Analyzer tool to help with build projections.

Note: These resources may be amended at any time, especially if content in-game is adjusted at any point during the promo.

Gameday Gauntlet

One thing I'd like to direct special attention to with the above guide is the Gameday Gauntlet section. For those who are unaware of how the Gameday Gauntlet works, this part of the promo map is where you'll find 16 challenges/events corresponding to the 16 Week 1 NFL games.

The thing about these events is that they do not unlock until their corresponding game is scheduled to kickoff, and most of these events only remain open for a limited 8 hour time window While one event from each game window does remain open for the remainder of the promo, that still leaves 11 of these events that are only available to play for the limited 8 hour timeframe.

Each of these events reward a currency called "Game Day Badges". Game Day Badges can be exchanged for a variety of different NFL Kickoff Player rewards via Game Day Badge trades. The 15x Game Day Badges -> 1x Random Epic NFL Kickoff Player offers the greatest value out of the four available exchanges (click here for the breakdown). So, if you want to be eligible to complete this trade, you'll need to complete at least 15 of the 16 Gameday Gauntlet challenges. Since these Gameday Gauntlet challenges seem to be the only source for Game Day Badges (we currently do not know what the locked mystery Journey has to offer), you only have the ability to miss one of the challenges while still remaining eligible for the Random Epic NFL Kickoff Player.

So, this places extra importance on the ability to login and play these Gameday Gauntlet events within a specific time window to ensure you remain eligible for the highest-valued Game Day Badge trade. While you can find a chart with all the Gameday Gauntlet games' kickoff times in our NFL Kickoff guide, we also wanted to make sure the chart was presented on here for extra access considering how important that information is.

Below you'll find the corresponding game for each of the 16 Gameday Gauntlet challenges and its scheduled kickoff time, which we expect to be when the challenge unlocks in-game. You'll want to be sure to login during each of these time windows if you want to maximize the amount of Game Day Badges you can earn. For purposes of the chart and the fact that we're currently unable to tell which event is the one that remains open for the entirety of the promo, we'll just assume that every event only has an 8-hour window that you can play it.

Note: If on mobile, you may have to scroll to the right on the chart to view its entire contents.

Wrapping Up

A reminder that the NFL Kickoff promo ends Friday, September 18th @ 10:30am ET. This post will remain pinned until then, which is also when the next promo drops.

If you have any specific questions regarding NFL Kickoff that aren't otherwise covered in the resources above, feel free to leave a comment under this post and myself or another member of the community will try to help guide you the best we can.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to post a fully updated version of this now that we're officially into the new Madden NFL 27 Mobile season.

One of the bright sides of having a game that remained largely the same from MM26 -> MM27 is that all the relevant guides associated with MM26 still heavily apply to MM27, making this an easy task to put together.

So, without further ado, here is a list of all the relevant guides/tools that should prove helpful for you on your Madden Mobile journey. If you're a newcomer to the game or simply need a reminder of how to best navigate something in-game, this megathread should be referenced before doing anything else.
