The Madden NFL 24 Championship Series (MCS 24) returns with four finalists competing in Wednesday’s $125,000 in-person final of the Most Feared Challenge featuring a $125,000 prize pool.

Wesley, JonBeast, Abram and TJ were the four Madden NFL 24 competitors to advance to the final, which will be broadcast live from EA’s center in Redwood City, Calif. Most Feared is part of this year’s new monthly tournament fixture, with EA reporting more than 48,000 MCS games having already been played – up 10 percent from the entire MCS 23 season.

Most Feared is the first of a series of four monthly Ultimate Challenges featuring a combined $500,000 prize pool. It also follows the Ultimate Kickoff, which was the most-watched Madden esports competition to date with an increase in average minute audience (AMA) of 62 percent year-over-year.

“MCS 24 is our biggest season yet — with record-breaking viewership and participation,” Andrew Echanique, EA’s American Football Esports Commissioner, said in a press release. “The stage is set for the remainder of the MCS 24, with our Ultimate Challenges expected to deliver a simple and consistent format to drive rich engagement opportunities on the road to the Ultimate Madden Bowl.”

Wednesday’s final will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on the Madden NFL 24 Twitch and YouTube channels.
