There are a lot of teams to choose from in Madden 24 but which ones are the best? Here’s a rundown of the teams with the most impressive offenses and defenses in the latest football sim release.

Since the most recent NFL season and Super Bowl have now ended, Madden 24 has once again reshuffled team ratings to mirror standings as accurately as possible. There are a lot of great teams you can use in the game but you may only be interested in those who are ranked at the very top.

The overall rating of a team gives you a solid idea of where they stand compared to other teams in the league, and a rundown of their biggest strengths as a unit. If you’re curious to know what teams currently have the best offenses and defenses in Madden 24, we’ve got you covered.

So, here are the top teams in Madden 24.

The best overall teams in Madden 24

These are the top ten teams and their overalls in Madden 24:

Rank	Team	Overall Team Rating
1	Ravens	92
2	49ers	92
3	Bills	91
4	Chiefs	90
5	Lions	89
6	Cowboys	88
7	Eagles	87
8	Dolphins	86
9	Browns	85
10	Packers	84

Believe it or not, the Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs are not in the top — nor in the top three.

The Ravens and NFC champion 49ers both sit in the top spots at a 92 OVR. The Buffalo Bills, who lost in the AFC Divisional Round to the Kansas City Chiefs, are in the third spot.

Kansas City and the Lions, who rose to 89 OVR, round out the top five.

From there, four playoff teams make up spots 5-9, in Dallas, Philadelphia, Miami, and Cleveland.

The Packers and Texans are both at 84 OVR.

The best offenses in Madden 24

Here’s a look at the best offensive teams in Madden 24, as decided by EA Sports:

Rank	Team	Overall Offensive Rating
1	Chiefs	93
2	Cowboys	91
3	Bills	89
4	Eagles	88
5	49ers	88
6	Ravens	87
7	Dolphins	86
8	Lions	85
9	Texans	82
10	Rams	81

To not much shock, the Chiefs are in the top spot with a 93 OVR-rated offense. Kansas City has two players in the 99 Club in QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce, both of whom are also the highest-rated at their respective positions.

The Cowboys and Bills round out the top three. Other notable teams in the top 10 include a dynamic Dolphins offense led by Tyreek Hill and Tua Tagovailoa, and C.J. Stroud’s Houston Texans.

The best defenses in Madden 24

Let’s take a look at the best defenses in Madden 24:

Rank	Team	Overall Defensive Rating
1	49ers	90
2	Ravens	89
3	Steelers	88
4	Chiefs	87
5	Dolphins	86
6	Browns	85
7	Cowboys	85
8	Eagles	84
9	Jets	84
10	Buccaneers	83

The 49ers’ defense, led by Fred Warner, played a massive role in San Francisco’s road to the NFC Championship. Thus, it’s not a shock to see the 49ers in the top spot.

The rest of the top five is littered with AFC teams, as the Ravens, Steelers, Chiefs, and Dolphins round it out.

Other notable teams in the top ten include a stout Cowboys D led by DaRon Bland and DeMarcus Lawrence, and Sauce Gardner’s New York Jets.
