“The Madden HBCU tournament is a prime example of the NFL's commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in both traditional sports and esports,” said the NFL's vice president of video gaming Ed Kiang. “The program has experienced significant growth the past four seasons with 56 HBCU schools represented and player participation expanding by 200 percent year-over-year. We can't wait to showcase the Pro Bowl Games for this year's finalists and deliver an unforgettable experience for them.”

The finalists will get the chance to meet some NFL players, and will also receive tickets to the Pro Bowl game. Special guests Ahman Green, former Green Bay Packers running back, Tiffany Greene, an ESPN commentator and Florida A&M graduate, and DeSean Jackson, former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, will host the tournament.
