FC 26 FUT Champions Guide - Everything You Need To Know

What Is FUT Champions

FUT Champions is one of the most anticipated and important game modes in FC 26, with its various amazing features allowing players to match against each other in order to pick out the champion among the best clubs and players in order to receive massive amounts of rewards.

As an online mode, this game mode is extremely reliant on players skills and experience in creating a club and having the best players, with very harsh requirements that players need to fulfill in order to be able to participate in the game mode in the first place. To qualify for FUT Champs, you need to reach Division 6 in FUT Rivals and earn 1000 Champions Qualification Points. This means that you will need to play matches against other players often and win as many matches as possible in order to earn enough points to participate in the Championship.

FUT Champions is held every week on Thursday and lasts until Tuesday of the week after. During this time, as long as players can earn enough points to qualify for the Championship, they will be able to participate in the FUT Champions game of the week right away by spending the 1000 points as an entry fee to enter the week’s FUA Champions.

FUT Champions Finals VS FUT Champions Challengers

Unlike FC 25 where there’s only 1 Champion Mode with the game requiring players to successfully winning the Play-offs to be able to participate, the FUT Champions mode in FC 26 have received a massive overhaul and is divided into 2 different categories: Finals and Challengers.

Champion Finals are the game mode that can only be participated by players of the highest possible amount of points in Division Rivals, otherwise known as players on the Division 6 and above. These players will be required to compete against each other in a total of 15 matches in total during the FUT Champions duration weekly to obtain rewards.

On the other hand, Champion Challengers is dedicated to the players of Division 7 and below that earn enough points to spend to participate in FUT Champion during that week. These players will be matched with each other and have to compete in a total of 5 matches during the FUT champions period, meaning they will only be able to earn up to 5 points and will not be able to advance in higher ranks unless they increase their division and enter the Champion Finals.

 

FUT Champions Rankings

Upon entering FUT Champions, players will be matched with other players in online matches against one another in order to earn points. The more victorious matches you achieve, the more points you will receive and the higher the rank you will advance.

The ranking system functions somewhat similarly to other MOBA or multiplayer games out there, with the higher the points you accumulate, the higher the rank you will climb, but if you lose your matches, you will not receive any points. Unlike other multiplayer games, however, during the FUT Champion weekly period, you will only be able to participate in a total of 15 matches (for Champion Finals) and 5 matches (for Champion Challengers) and the final rank will be determined based on the total number of victorious matches you manage to achieve.

For Champion Finals players, you will be able to achieve the highest rank if you win all 15 matches and be able to obtain the maximum amount of rewards each week. Alternatively, players in the Champion Challengers bracket will be able to receive separate rewards based on the amount of matches they win, with the rewards being much less than Champion Finals, so players should try their best to aim for Division 6 and above to be qualified for Champion Finals for better rewards.

FC 26 FUT Champions Guide - General Tips & Tricks For Best Rewards

Invest In The Absolute Best Team & Players

Unlike other gamemodes where you can build your squad from the ground up and gradually build your favorite players up by boosting their stats and evolving them, FUT Champions is the game’s most competitive game mode that offers the most amount of rewards for players to obtain. Therefore, it is extremely crucial that you bring out the best players and team synergy you can possibly cook up to win matches against your opponents.

Due to how the match making works in Champions, the later the match you partake in, the harder the challenges will be and you will be matched with higher skill players the more you advance, so it is extremely important to bring your A Game to obtain the best rewards you can.

Strategy & Formation Is The Key To Victory

As all Champions matches are against other players in real time, it is extremely important for players to be aware of the game’s meta formations and players beforehand to be able to either use these formations to your advantage or invest in special counter formations to better handle players who use these formations.

Just like in real life football, flexibility and strategizing is one of the key factors in football and that is no different in the FUT Champions game mode. Pay attention to your opponents’ formations, find their weaknesses and exploit them to the best of your abilities to be able to achieve the best victory possible.

Play Test Strategies Beforehand

If you fully intend to obtain as many rewards as possible with each weekly Champions match, it is extremely crucial that you test out different strategies, formations and teams before actually partaking in the game mode.

To do this efficiently, don’t hesitate to test out your strategies and different team lineups in other game modes such as Rivals to see how other players will react to your team before attempting to partake in Champions.
