FC 25 FUT Champs rewards: Full list, start time & format explained

Below, we've outlined all you need to know about the mode's changes, including when players can start playing Champs and hopefully snatching some great rewards.

When does FUT Champs begin and end in FC 25?

Champs, or weekend league as many players refer to it, is only available to play over the weekend, although this year it has been extended. Now, the event runs from Thursday 8am until Tuesday 8am.

Although, the first Champs competition of the year starts on Friday 4th of October. After that, the games can begin on a Thursday. There is no time restraint on qualifiers, so players can start these whenever they want to be ready for the next weekend.

How to qualify for FC 25 FUT Champs

There are two stages to qualifying for FUT Champs: getting to the play-offs and then winning enough play-off games to enter the competition proper.

To reach play-offs, players need 1,000 Champions Qualifications Points earned by playing Rivals matches.

The amount of Qualifications Points you get from each Rivals game will depend on your current division, increasing with each division promotion.

Once players have 1,000 points, it’s time to play the FUT Champs Play-off matches. This is one of the biggest changes in FC 25, as now there are only five play-off games, not 10, and to qualify, players will need to win three of the five.

Whereas last year, players could lose six play-off games, now they can only lose two, although players now get 12 attempts to qualify.

It’s considerably more challenging now, and ensures FUT Champs is for the best players.

Here are the Champions Play-offs rewards, with a win earning four points and a loss earning one point; there are no draws.

• Rank I | 20 pts: x1 85+ Rare Gold Player Pack, x1 Mega Pack, 800 Champions Qualification Points and Finals Qualification
• Rank II | 16-19 pts: x1 84+ Rare Gold Players Pack, x1 Jumbo Premium Gold Pack, 800 Champions Qualification Points and Finals Qualification
• Rank III | 12-15 pts: x1 Rare Gold Packs, x1 Small Prime Gold Players Packs, 800 Champions Qualification Points and Finals Qualification
• Rank IV | 10-11 pts: x1 Rare Gold Pack and 650 Champions Qualification Points
• Rank V | 8-9 pts: x1 Small Prime Gold Players Pack and 650 Champions Qualification Points
• Rank VI | 5-7 pts: x1 Premium Gold Pack and 500 Champions Qualification Points

The above packs are a good, healthy reward, but if you qualify then that’s the biggest reward - as now you’re into the big leagues to earn the best rewards in the game.

The only problem with the rewards becoming so good is that it will widen the gap between the very best players and everyone else.
