How to qualify for FUT Champs in EA FC 25: Ranks & Rewards explained

FUT Champs screen in EA FC 25Dexerto

FUT Champs has always been the most challenging game mode in which to find regular success, but EA Sports decided to ramp up that intensity even more in EA FC 25.

Weekend League or Champions Finals, allows competitors to go against the game’s best talent to earn rewards in Ultimate Team. Since its introduction, this mode has seen several significant changes.

At first, it challenged players to complete 40 matches in a 48-hour window over a weekend. Then, EA lowered that to 20 games, and now players will only have 15 chances to prove themselves in EA FC 25.

This switch comes after EA admitted that qualifying for the Champions Finals was too accessible in EA FC 24. So instead, EA FC 25 players will have to go through a more challenging mode that rewards higher-skilled users for performing better.

When does FUT Champs start?

FUT Champs starts at 8 am GMT, 3 am EDT, and 12 am PDT every Friday

When do FUT Champs rewards come out?

Players can claim their FUT Champs rewards immediately after playing all 15 matches. Previously, they had to wait until Wednesday, but that’s no longer the case.

Qualification points per match depend on which Rivals Division you are in, and increases in higher divisions.

Finals qualification

After earning enough qualification points, players must then win three out of the five Play-Offs qualifying matches to earn a chance at competing in the Weekend League Finals. It’s worth noting that in FC 24, players only needed to win four out of 10 games.
