How to qualify for the Weekend League in FC 27
- Every Division Rivals match gives you Champions Qualification Points, more for a win than for a loss. Squad Battles also give points.
- Higher Rivals divisions give more points per match. There is no minimum division.
- With 1,000 points you can enter the next weekend. You have to reach them before Friday evening.
- A good Weekend League also gives you qualification points for the next one. According to fan-site reward tables, 15 wins give the full 1,000 points.
Format: 15 matches per weekend
- Champions Finals is the Weekend League: up to 15 matches per weekend, one entry per round. Every win moves you up one rank.
- You do not have to play all matches in one go. You can spread them over Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning.
- Challengers, the shorter version from earlier games, is not available in FC 27 according to fan sites.
Rewards: Champions Tokens instead of fixed packs
In FC 27 you no longer get a fixed pack for each number of wins. Instead you earn Champions Tokens, which you spend in the Champions store (packs, player picks, Evolutions, celebrations). From 7 wins on, there are also coins. Examples from Red Bull's overview:
| Wins | Rewards |
|---|---|
| 1 | 15 Champions Tokens |
| 5 | 50 Champions Tokens |
| 7 | 75 Champions Tokens + 10,000 coins |
| 10 | 135 Champions Tokens + 35,000 coins |
| 12 | 215 Champions Tokens + 75,000 coins |
| 15 | 450 Champions Tokens + 250,000 coins |
Rewards arrive as soon as you have played all 15 matches. If you stop earlier, you get them when the round closes. Check the reward screen in the game before you start, because EA can change the values from season to season.
Tips for a better Weekend League
- Play when you are fresh. Three sessions of five matches are better than 15 in a row.
- Start early. Friday evening and Saturday are often easier than Sunday night, when many strong players are still chasing their last wins.
- Use a squad you know. New cards from the latest promo are tempting, but a team you are used to usually wins more.
- Know the controls. In FC 27 AI defenders no longer tackle for you, and curved runs are new. See our FC 27 controls guide.
- Plan around promos. A new promo team drops every Friday at 6pm UK, one hour before the Weekend League opens. All dates are in our FC 27 promo calendar.
