With no live sports currently going on, ESPN is adding more eSports content to their schedule, as ESPN2 will air five hours of Madden content this weekend, as well as the Madden Bowl in May.

Madden Content on ESPN2

After the conclusion of the NFL Draft, ESPN will continue the football theme, as ESPN2 will air several hours of Madden content during this pause in the sports industry. The content will focus around the Madden Bowl, and the five-hour block will commence with games from the Madden Celebrity Tournament Championship at 12 PM EST. Following these games will be the first two episodes of the ‘Road to the Madden Bowl’ Series. After the airing of these episodes will be the live ‘Madden 20 Last Chance Qualifier’, which will start at 2 PM EST.
