All Madden NFL 27 relocation teams, cities and uniforms in Franchise Mode
Madden NFL 27 has launched with an expanded set of team relocation options in Franchise Mode, letting players move their franchise away from a realistic save and customise it with new cities and kits. The feature is a long-running staple of Madden's Franchise Mode, giving players fresh ways to personalise long-term saves rather than sticking with real-world NFL markets.
The game offers 34 relocation cities, each assigned a market size (from Small to Huge) and a fan "personality" type such as Laid Back, Hardcore, Loyal or Front Runner, spanning US cities alongside international destinations like London, Tokyo, Dublin, Paris and Melbourne. There are also more than 30 custom uniform sets, such as the Antlers, Black Knights and Golden Eagles, each with their own colour schemes, available once a team relocates. To relocate, players simply open the League menu within Franchise Mode and select the Relocate or Rebuild option to choose a new home city.
In short
- Madden NFL 27 offers 34 relocation cities in Franchise Mode

- Over 30 custom uniform kits available after relocating
Explained simply
The National Football League (NFL) is made up of teams rooted in cities across the United States. In Madden, the American football video game series, Franchise Mode lets players manage a team over several seasons, making decisions about its future.
Relocation lets a player move a team to a different city and choose a new identity for it. The available cities have different market sizes and fan profiles, while custom uniform sets give relocated teams new colours and designs.
The feature gives players more ways to shape a long-running game save, including choosing an international home for a team. These options are part of the game’s simulation and do not mean that a real NFL team is moving.
