All Madden NFL 24 Relocation Teams & Cities Available In Franchise Mode (2024)

Madden NFL 24's relocation teams give players the opportunity to rearrange the landscape of American football. Relocation teams are a major feature in Madden 24's Franchise Mode, allowing players to move any franchise they manage or own to an entirely new city. There may be a variety of reasons a player chooses to do so: moving to a new city can provide a larger, more loyal fan base, or simply give a struggling team a new start. Packing up and moving a team to uncharted territory can also provide a challenge for an experienced player.

Relocating a team in Madden 24 is as simple as opening the "Manage Team" menu, selecting "Stadium," and then "Relocate." Although it's technically possible to move any team to any relocation city, there are some restrictions on the process. For example, players are limited to certain names when rebranding their Madden 24 relocation teams, and certain stats unique to each city can cause a variety of effects. Here are all the Madden 24 relocation team names, the cities they can move to, and an explanation of how it all works.

All Madden 24 Relocation Teams: Names

How Names & Fan Interest Affect Madden 24 Relocation Teams

In one of Madden 24's best improvements over Madden 23, relocation team names are no longer specific to particular cities - with one exception. There's nothing to stop a player from turning the Chicago Bears into the San Diego Snowhawks if they really want to, but each Madden NFL relocation team name comes along with a Fan Interest meter that affects how easy it'll be to drum up popularity. For example, using an established team name like The Bulls will make it easier to gain a fan base than using one like The River Hogs.

Fan Interest shifts over time as a team improves its performance and signs some of the best Madden 24 players, but it'll have a major impact on a relocation team's earliest days in their new city. As a result, it's important to consult this stat when choosing a team name. And of course, if the team's current name has a decent Fan Interest number, players are totally welcome to keep it even as they relocate. But without further ado, here are all the Madden 24 relocation team names players can choose from in Franchise Mode:

• Antlers
• Armadillos
• Aviators
• Bison
• Black Knights
• Blues
• Bulls
• Caps
• Condors
• Desperados
• Dragons
• Dreadnoughts
• Elks
• Golden Eagles
• Huskies
• Lumberjacks
• Monarchs
• Mounties
• Night Hawks
• Orbits
• Pioneers
• Redwoods
• River Hogs
• Sentinels
• Shamrocks
• Snowhawks
• Steamers
• Thunderbirds
• Tigers
• Voyagers
• Wizards

While better-known Madden 24 relocation team names are likely to have higher Fan Interest numbers from the beginning, these things can change quickly. Franchise Mode can be fickle, and a team's standing can turn on a dime. It's easier to choose a team name with higher Fan Interest, but some players may want to tell a different kind of story. Whether they want to elevate an obscure franchise to superstardom or be beloved from the moment they arrive in town, players will need to pay attention to the Fan Interest of any team name they're considering.

Madden 24 Relocation Teams: Cities, Market Sizes, & Personalities

What Cities Should Players Move Their Madden 24 Relocation Teams To?

When it comes to choosing a city for a Madden 24 relocation team, there are two stats to consider: Market Size and Personality. Market Size determines the efficacy of a team's marketing, on a scale ranging from Small to Huge. The larger the market size, the more fans their advertising dollars will pull in. Bigger cities (and bigger football cities) tend to have bigger Market Sizes, meaning players won't have to spend as much to draw fans in places like Brooklyn, Tokyo, or Mexico City. Cities with bigger Market Sizes will also offer teams more money toward building stadiums.

A city's Personality determines fan behavior and influences ticket sales, which can have both positive and negative effects. Ticket sales may be more consistent in a Loyal city, but may see a steep drop during a losing streak or a price increase in a Hardcore one. Laid Back cities exist somewhere in between: they'll forgive most price increases or losses, but not too many. Front Runner cities are the step below Hardcore, and will want to see frequent wins, along with some of Madden 24's star quarterbacks. These are all the Madden 24 relocation team cities and their stats:

Ideally, a city with a Loyal Personality and a Huge Market size provides the best bonuses for Madden 24 relocation teams. That makes places like London, Tokyo, and Toronto the easiest cities for relocation. But of course, simplicity isn't everyone's preference. It'll be extremely difficult to gain and maintain fans in Hardcore cities with Small Market sizes, making Canton the single hardest city to relocate a Madden 24 franchise to.

That's everything to know about Madden 24 relocation teams - the rest can only be learned by doing. Relocating a team can provide a variable experience in Franchise Mode. Some players may choose to relocate to an easier city when their team is struggling, or move to a harder one to test their skills. Either way, relocating completely turns the Madden NFL 24 experience on its head, and should never be undertaken without serious research into team names, Market Sizes, and Personalities.
