EA Sports is sort of betting on an esports event featuring its new arcade-style mode will keep its fans more engaged.

“The Madden NFL ‘The Yard’ Invitational is unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” said Madden NFL Competitive Gaming Commissioner, Matt Marcou, in a release. He continued, “It’s a glimpse into how we might experiment with this format for future Madden competitions.”

The new tournament will be broadcast on Madden’s YouTube and Twitch channels starting March 5 at 6 p.m. ET.
