Madden NFL Mobile - Legends
September 23, 2025
The new season is in full swing, and we’re shining a spotlight on some historically hyped players, and changing up the traditional formula with the brand new Legends event in Madden NFL 26 Mobile.
With this new event, we’re introducing a new resource management system with the Faction system, as well as a new strategy-focused approach to building your team this time around - welcome to Legends, sportsfans!
Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about the latest event in Madden NFL 26 Mobile!
Some Assembly Required
In Legends, acquiring players now requires a new strategic approach to resource management.
At the core of the system is a two-part recipe. First, you'll need Legends Tokens, the basic resource, to acquire Uncommon players.
Next, you'll need Faction Tokens, which are a new addition to the game.
These collectibles are split into two groups: NFC Tokens and AFC Tokens. To build higher-rarity Legends Players, you will need a specific number of these collectibles along with lower-rarity players.
The progression works like this: use tokens to get Uncommon players, then combine a number of these Uncommon players with the appropriate amount of NFC or AFC Tokens to build a Rare player.
This process continues as you progress, with those of even higher rarity requiring a certain number of rarer players of the same Faction, along with more Faction Tokens.
This new system means you'll need to strategically manage your resources to acquire the specific players you want, making the event more engaging and decision-based.
The event is structured across three distinct maps, each with a different purpose…
A Tried And True Trio Of Maps
The Blitz Map serves as your main hub for acquiring resources.
The first two nodes on this map are dedicated to playing challenges to score Legends Tokens, which are essential for acquiring Uncommon players.
The next two nodes are where you'll grind for the new NFC and AFC Tokens, which you’ll use in conjunction with player cards to build higher rarity players.
For those who purchase the Event Pass, more of these nodes become available, providing easier and wider access to resources.
Next, the Daily Journey Map functions much like the Vault event from previous seasons.
Each day, you'll play your way through a group of nodes, completing challenges and grabbing great rewards, followed by a final node that resets daily.
The rewards from this map are split evenly, giving you both Legends Tokens and Faction Tokens, so it's a good idea to drill it every day to maximize your gains.
Finally, the Showcases Map is a dynamic map with nodes that unlock gradually throughout the event. After completing a node on this map, you'll get to select the collectibles you want.
The drops are variable, with some nodes offering a higher number of one faction's collectibles over the other, which will directly influence your strategic decisions on which nodes to play.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
The in-game store has been modified to support the new Faction system.
When buying a pack that includes players, you will now be able to select which faction you want the player from (NFC or AFC).
Note: While this allows you to choose which Faction the player belongs to, it still does NOT allow you to choose the specific player.
Another key change for this event is that players will not drop as rewards from any of the nodes.
The focus is entirely on acquiring Legends Tokens and Faction Tokens.
This "collectibles-first" philosophy is a departure from previous events and emphasizes the importance of building your players from the ground up, as well as a focus on balance and resource management.
