The Madden gaming franchise is set to release Madden 23, the latest iteration of the NFL's official video game. This iteration will be the best in years, as there are loads of features and immersive gameplay to look forward to.

Madden enthusiasts will pay close attention to how they can move their franchise(s) to a new stadium. Yes, it's possible, and in this piece, we will show you how to get it done. So, without further ado, let's get down to business.

How to move franchises to new stadiums in Madden 23

Firstly, you can only pull this off by playing Franchise Mode as an Owner rather than a Coach or Player. Make sure you select this option at the start, or you won't be able to relocate your team.

Depending on personal preference, you can also choose whether you want to allow other teams in Madden 23 to relocate or just your own.

If you want to start expeditiously, choose a team with a stadium rating that's below 20. Suppose you select a team with a high stadium rating. In that case, you must purposely neglect stadium renovations and improvements and let it fall into disarray before you can relocate.

Next, navigate to the Home section in the menu, then head to the Stadium option. If your stadium has a rating below 20, the chance to relocate should appear here.

From there, you must pick a new city, jerseys, stadium, logo, and all the other team iconography. The council will return to you with a selection of options, with each city housing three different metrics: Market Size, Personality, and Team Names.

Market Size in Madden 23 determines how much funding you get for the relocation, personality tells you how passionate or angry the fanbase can get, and Team Names are precisely what it sounds like.
