Now that EA Sports FC 24 is available to everyone, the grind begins again in Ultimate Team, and everyone will be on the hunt for the best players – and rewards.

To secure your spot in FUT Champs and the Finals, you'll need to accumulate 1250 Qualification Points in Division Rivals. After climbing the ranks and proving your prowess, you'll be challenged with a total of 30 matches. You can unlock exclusive packs, elite players, and bountiful coins by diving into the ultimate test of skill: the Weekend League.
