EA FC 26 Ultimate Team Rivals, Champs & Squad Battle Rewards Release Times

by

EA Sports FC 26’s Ultimate Team lets you build your dream squad by collecting players from around the globe. The main way to get new players is by opening packs. You earn these packs by playing Rivals, Squad Battles, and Champions modes. The packs you receive depend on how well you perform each week, giving players something to aim for at the same time every week – hoping for a lucky pack! This guide will tell you exactly when the rewards become available for Squad Battles, Rivals, and Champions in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team.

What Time Do Division Rivals Rewards Get Released in EA FC 26?

I absolutely love Division Rivals in EA FC 26! It’s such a fun way to test my team against real opponents online. Basically, the more matches you win, the higher you rank up through the divisions, and the better the weekly rewards become. It’s super addictive trying to climb and get all the best stuff!

Every Thursday at 12am Pacific Time / 3am Eastern Time / 8am UK time / 9am Central European Time, Division Rivals rewards are updated. This also resets your points, so you’ll need to play through the reward tiers again to earn better rewards the following week.

Packs you’ve qualified for last week will be ready to open in the EA FC 26 mobile app, or within the game itself through the ‘Store’ section.

What Time Do Squad Battles Rewards Get Released in EA FC 26?

I’ve noticed a lot of people don’t play Squad Battles as much as Division Rivals, and I think it’s mostly because the rewards aren’t quite as exciting. Plus, honestly, playing against the computer just isn’t as thrilling as going head-to-head with another player online. But, if you’re willing to put in the work and play around 18 games against the AI each week, you can still earn some really good stuff for your team!

In EA FC 26, you’ll receive your rewards from Squad Battles every Sunday at 12am Pacific Time, 3am Eastern Time, 8am UK time, or 9am Central European Time. Just like in Division Rivals, your points reset weekly, and you’ll need to complete 16 matches to earn new rewards each week.

Each week, make sure to win against the Featured Squad Battle and Team of the Week challenges. These specific matches give you double the points compared to other games.

What Time Do Champs Rewards Get Released in EA FC 26?

Champions mode, often called Champs by players, is the most competitive way to play Ultimate Team in *EA FC 26*, and it offers the biggest rewards. You can earn valuable rare packs, and you’re also guaranteed to receive a Team of the Week player pack.

You’ll get your Champs rewards immediately after finishing 15 matches each week. If you don’t play all 15, your rewards will be given out once the weekly FUT Champs event ends – usually around 10pm ET on Mondays. FUT Champs starts around 1pm ET on Fridays and runs through late Monday.

To compete in Champions, you need to meet a couple of requirements. First, you must be at least Division 6 in Rivals. Second, you need to earn 1,000 Champions Qualification points, which you get by winning matches in Rivals.

Earning Champs rewards significantly increases your chances of getting top-tier players, including many of the quickest ones in the game.

The first weekend of Champions events starts on October 3rd. This gives players who purchase the standard edition of the game – which becomes available on September 26th – time to play matches and reach Division 6 before the event begins.
