This season, one hundred graduates will move into key technical roles, while students from the Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting join the main broadcast desk and B-Stream commentary teams. According to Monica Dinsmore, Head of Esports at EA, the technical infrastructure at the Orlando Health Fortress remains a primary driver for keeping the series on campus.
Full Sail University to Host Madden Bowl 27
For the third consecutive year, Electronic Arts is bringing the Madden NFL Championship Series to the Full Sail University campus in Winter Park, Florida. The partnership culminates in February 2027 with the Madden Bowl, marking the first time the tournament’s flagship event will be held at the university’s Full Sail Live venue.

This format shift aims to broaden access to the championship circuit, which begins in September 2026. Fans can track the full schedule of qualifiers and the final February showdown via live streams on Twitch and YouTube.
