Real teams, real strategy, and real money is on the table during this ultra-realistic sports sim event, all made possible by the technology behind Madden 20 and Twitch TV. Check out the tournament format below:

THE SIM CLASSIC: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

• The Sim Classic combines the NFL season and playoffs with FIFA’s World Cup tournament format.
• During the Group Round of play, we’re pitting AFC and NFC division rivals against each other, with up to five games broadcast daily from May 9th -19th.
• Out of each division, two teams will advance to the Quarterfinal Round of 16. From that point forward it’s do-or-die, all the way to the big dance, Sim Bowl I on May 24th.
• There are tons of ways to bet, including futures, props, live parlays and more.

The Sim Classic is the perfect place to flex your fan muscle, with live chat for the banter and play predictions you and your friends have been missing.
