EA Sports has unveiled the brand-new Pro Clubs and Volta system. The inclusion of Seasons with Leagues, Playoffs, and an entirely new system of Fans and Reputation has been confirmed.
Clubs League
There’s nothing more rewarding than achieving something you’ve strived for as a collective – as teammates, as supporters, as a group of friends, as a club. It’s the reason we all love football, and it’s the reason we play Clubs. That’s why in EA SPORTS FC 24 you’ll always be on the path to glory with our new Clubs League format.
Each Clubs League season will take place over roughly 6 weeks, and will be split into 2 phases that dial up the stakes:
- League Phase
- Playoff Phase
League Phase
The League Phase is where we begin each new season. Accumulate points by winning matches, and earn the right to fight for promotion from Division 5 to higher and higher divisions, all the way up to the top of the Clubs football pyramid: the Elite Division. The higher you climb, the better the rewards you’ll have the opportunity to fight for come Playoff time.
League Matches
Starting in Division 5, clubs will no longer have a limited number of matches to obtain the points required to fight for promotion. In EA SPORTS FC™ 24, every point earned takes your club one step closer to success. That means any losses won’t damage your club’s existing points total, and more importantly, no relegation – though that doesn’t mean that we’re letting you off easy.

Each new division will bring tougher opponents, and a higher required points target to reach Promotion Matches.
Promotion Matches
When a club has earned the required amount of points within their division, they will proceed to the Promotion Matches.
These are a do-or-die series of matches that will decide your promotion fate as you move through the Clubs League divisions. Draws won’t help you here, your club will be challenged to win a specified amount from a fixed number of total matches (win 1 of 3 matches, for example). Hit the required wins threshold and you’ll celebrate promotion, fall short, and your club will remain in its current division with a reduced points total, placing you just a few steps away from another attempt.
As you rise through the divisions, the promotion competition will intensify, providing a suitable challenge to clubs of all skill levels, and ensuring a place in the Elite Division is reserved for the best of the best.
After the League Phase, all clubs are locked to their respective divisions and their focus will turn to the all-new Clubs Playoffs.
League Rewards
Each time your club gains promotion, you will earn club rewards in the form of fans to grow your club’s Reputation, or Club Customization items to mark your rise through the divisions.
With each new season, a new set of themed Club Customization items will be on the line for your club to earn. Each set comprises a Kit, Tifo, and Stadium Bundle. Reach the lofty heights of the Elite Division to unlock the complete set.
Playoff Phase
The Clubs Playoffs are the crowning glory, the climactic event of every Clubs League season. Taking place over the final week of every Clubs season, the Playoffs are the time to unite the squad and battle it out for bragging rights and big rewards against the best clubs in your division.
At the beginning of the Playoffs, all clubs will be locked into pools based on their division and challenged with completing a set number of matches to rank as high as possible on their respective divisions’ Playoff Table.
Playoff matches are high stakes. Draws aren’t an option, as every match will proceed to extra time, followed by penalties to determine a winner. Goal difference could be pivotal, so competing until the end will give your club a fighting chance against the competition.
After your club has completed all of their Playoff matches for the season, you can continue to play League matches during the Playoff Phase period to earn increases to your Club Reputation and Skill Rating. However, you will no longer be able to gain points toward promotion.
Playoff Rewards & Season End
After each Clubs League season, both you and your club will earn rewards based on your Playoff performance. With the eyes of the world on your club, the Clubs Playoffs provide the best chance to grow your club’s Reputation – but the real prize comes in the form of the Clubs League trophy.
Each season will have its own unique trophy in gold, silver, and bronze, emblazoned with the crest of your league division to recognize your club’s Playoff performance that will be put on display in your all-new Trophy Room (as well as in your stadium).
In recognition of their contribution to the club, any player that contributes to a minimum of one Playoff Match for their club and remains on the roster at season’s end will earn VOLTA COINS to spend on the latest gear in the VOLTA SHOP and Season Points to improve their Clubs and VOLTA FOOTBALL shared seasonal progression path. The higher the division, and the better your club ranking, the larger amount you will receive. All Playoff Rewards will be delivered to you and your club when you enter Clubs for the first time after a brief reward calculation period.
A new Season will begin the moment the previous Season ends. At that time, clubs will be returned to their starting division and the journey to the top begins again.
Fans and Reputation
Club Reputation
For the first time, every club match will contribute to a shared progression system to allow clubs to grow together. By playing matches, clubs will gain fans which will contribute to their overall club reputation and reach higher reputation levels, going from Hometown Heroes to World Renowned.
At each reputation level clubs will unlock:
- Higher OVR AI clubmates
- Higher tier stadiums
- Stadium Vanity
Club Customization
Your club’s stadium will reflect the journey your club has gone on with an overhauled stadium customization experience. As clubs grow in reputation, they will unlock new stadiums and ways to customise them. Along with new seasonal content unlocked via promotion in the Clubs League, your club will have the tools it needs to show off its unique identity.
All of the following options can be added to the 3 new customizable stadiums in Clubs:
Stadium Bundles
The look and feel of your club’s stadium can be drastically changed with the press of a button. Bundles include Banners, Stadium Colours, Stadium Lighting and Inflatables to outfit your stadium and show off your club identity.
Pitch Trophies
The Trophies you earn aren’t just for the trophy room! To show off your club’s success in the Playoffs, all trophies earned can be added to your stadium and appear along the pitch and in match intro sequences.
Animated Tifos
Along with our classic tifos, new animated tifos are being introduced to really make your stadium stand out.
We remind you that by Pre Order the Ultimate and Standard Edition of EA SPORTS FC 24 on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One system you can get the version for the equivalent new generation console (Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 system) at no additional cost thanks to the Dual Entitlement service.
