Madden 26‘s multiplayer modes offer a lot of different options, and there’s an underrated way of playing with your friend as part of the same squad.
The easiest way to play with a buddy is to challenge them H2H via friendlies. This will let you decide which of the two of your contests is the better player. But what if you and your buddy want to play together as part of the same squad? This can be done with a few tweaks and play as part of the same team (either in duos or three of you together).
Madden 26 2v2 and 3v3 online guide
Whether you’re playing 2v2 or 3v3, the core process is the same. Playing 1v1 is easier, as you can use the online H2H mode to play. Results in friendlies don’t matter, but if you’re opting for 2v2 (or 3v3), the available options are in the Superstar mode and Madden Ultimate Team. I have always preferred the latter, so let’s find out the exact steps.
- Load up Ultimate Team.
- From the home screen, select Head 2 Head.
- Select the Squads Season from all the available options.
- In this mode, you can only play either in duos or as a squad.
- Before sending invites to your friends, select a role you want to play. You can also choose to play any role.
- Modify the lineups with the cards you have. The player creating the session will be in control of the squad and cards to use.
- Send requests to friends who are online. Once they accept the requests, you can start your match and play together as a squad.
The similar option in Superstar mode is under Play a Friend. Again, you can invite up to two more friends, or just roll out in duos. Take note that your results in duos and trios will count and will have an impact on in-game progression. Hence, it’s better to focus on the wins and coordinate well with your friends to raise the chances of a victory.
