Your Ultimate Team material and progress in The Yard will be carried over. To continue your Next Level NFL experience, transfer your progress from Franchise and Face of the Franchise to next-gen consoles.
Details on Madden Ultimate Team Transfers
Any changes made to the PlayStation 4 will appear on the PlayStation 5. And any changes made to the Xbox One will appear on the Xbox Series X|S. Your Ultimate Team stuff, such as Madden Points, binder content, cash, training, Ultimate Challenges, Missions, and so on, will be transferred.
Progress in Competitive Modes Isn't Transferable to Other Modes.
Suppose you start Weekend League on a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Your progress will be limited to previous-generation consoles until the event is completed if you start Weekend League on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
Your progress will be locked to the following generation until the event is completed. Solo Battles are the same way. Simply speaking, competitive leaderboards are divided into generations. The Madden NFL 21 Championship Series does not accept gameplay on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
Details on Franchise Mode Transfer
Multiple Franchise saves for Classic and Face of the Franchise can be exported to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. You'll keep your previous-generation console saved and be able to continue progress there. But any new previous-generation progress will be deemed a new next-generation import save.
Each previous generation import would result in a new save for the next generation. There is no requirement for an external file or a companion software because the export happens straight from one generation to the next. You can transfer your Franchise and the franchisee's face online (online-only mode). Offline classic Franchise cannot be transferred.
