M24 Rookie Premiere and Redzone Royale Part 1 - Madden Ultimate Team 23

The annual Rookie Premiere program has finally arrived in Madden Ultimate Team and things are a bit different this year, starting with the fact today is only Part 1 of 4 for the program. If you're new to MUT or unfamiliar with Rookie Premiere, it is a program designed to reward those still playing MUT 23 with content to help start their team in MUT 24.

In Part 1, the AFC and NFC North teams are each represented by one upcoming rookie that is 99 OVR in MUT 23 and if you complete the player's set, you will receive a lower-rated Elite version of the same player in MUT 24. In order to complete the Rookie Premiere Champion sets, you will need players from the other new program today, Redzone Royale.

Redzone Royale has 2x 99 OVR Champions, 18x 93-98 OVR players, a 99 OVR Jamal Adams that can be earned from the new solo challenges, and most importantly, you will use Redzone Royale players to complete the RP Champion sets. Each week of Redzone Royale will introduce a new, free 99 OVR player that will only be 99 OVR for that week until dropping back down to 80 OVR when the next part of the program releases. Check out all of the Rookie Premiere Champions and Redzone Royale players below:

*Note: Items with a gray border and "24" on them grant content in MUT 24. Items with a red/black border only apply to MUT 23.
