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).

Whether you’re playing 2v2 or 3v3, the core process is the same. Playing 1v1 is easier, as you may use theonline H2H modeto 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.

The similar option in Superstar mode is underPlay a Friend. Again, you’re able to 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.
