Thanks to the Team Builder website, which is free for everyone to use, you can play with custom squads. There are already some beautiful creations based on them, and some involve future rookies.

How to Download Future Draft Classes in Madden NFL 25

The Download Center is your best friend (unless you want to create the entire future draft class).

• Start and load the game.
• From the main menu, go to the first option under Download Center.
• There are a lot of different types of downloads available for free here. The one you are looking for will be listed as Rosters.
• When I opened this section, I could already find the 2025 and 2026 draft classes, with various downloads from the community.
• Just select one and it will be downloaded. You can check this under the section “My Downloads”.

This completes the first part of the task.

How to Load Future Draft Classes in Madden NFL 25

For this part you will need a new save file.

• From the Download Center, go to the last option.
• Here you can load your custom files. Load the one you downloaded with a future concept class.
• Create a new Franchise mode save.
• Make sure to choose a custom team instead of the default selection.

This will automatically load your custom squad file with future draft prospects. Keep in mind that the community is already creating these files. There is a chance that something will go wrong with your save in the future (it may not happen, but fair warning).
