QUALIFYING FOR WEEKEND LEAGUE
How do I qualify for Weekend League?
You can qualify for Weekend League by earning FUT Champions Points in Division Rivals. The amount of Points you need could change from time to time, so check in-game to see how many you currently have and how many more you need to qualify.
Once you have enough Points to qualify for the Weekend League, you can redeem them for entry before the Weekend League starts to be able to play the whole weekend or when the extended redemption window is open. Find out more about the extended redemption window below.
How do I earn FUT Champions Points?
You can earn them by playing matches in Division Rivals. You can sometimes get FUT Champions Point as part of the rewards in Division Rivals. You also earn Points in Weekend League, as you progress through the ranks you will earn FUT Champions Points to build towards your next Qualification.
When can I redeem my FUT Champions Points for Weekend League access?
We now have an extended redemption window to access Weekend League. Redeem your FUT Champions Points up to 24 hours after a Weekend League starts to participate in that weekend’s competition.
Reminder: Weekend League starts each Friday at 07:00 UTC. Redeem your Points before 07:00 UTC Fridays to have the most time to play your matches. If the weekend’s already started and you don’t want to join, you can hold onto your FUT Champions Points to use in a future Weekend League instead.
If the extended redemption window is still open, you will see that the competition is listed as active, along with a countdown to when registration ends.
If the extended redemption window has closed for the current weekend, you’ll see the option to redeem your FUT Champions Points for a future weekend instead with a countdown timer to when that competition starts.
You can redeem your Points on-the-go in the FIFA Web and Companion Apps. Once you have enough Points saved up, you’ll get the option to redeem.
Where can I see how many FUT Champions Points I have?
Find your FUT Champions Points balance in-game:
- Go into FUT.
- Select Play then Division Rivals.
- You’ll see a tile in Division Rivals that says FUT Champions. Here’s where you’ll see your balance.
You can only see your current balance when there isn’t an active Weekend League happening. Check back after a Weekend League ends to see how many FUT Champions Points you have.
MATCHMAKING
How does matchmaking in the Weekend League work?
Matchmaking in the Weekend League is based on two things:
- Your location. This determines which dedicated FIFA game data center location will give you the best connection for your match.
- Your current Form in Weekend League. This means you’ll be matched with players that have a similar Form as you, for the best competition possible.
What is Form? And how is it generated?
Your Form in Weekend League is a record of all the matches that you have played in the current competition. You start every Weekend League with your Form at 0, and it changes based on your results.
Here’s an example. Say the results of your first five games of a Weekend League were W/L/L/W/W.
Your Form after those five matches would end up at +1. That’s because you gain +1 for each win and lose -1 for each loss.
- Before your first match, your Form is at 0.
- You won the first match, so you earn 1. Form now at +1.
- You lost the second match, so you lose 1. Form now at 0.
- You lost the third match, so you lose another 1. Form now at -1.
- You win the fourth match, so you earn 1. Form now at 0 again.
- You win the fifth match, so you earn 1 more. Form now at +1 again.
- That means going into your sixth match, your current Form would be +1.
Are there limits to how much my Form can change?
Yes, Form can only drop as low as -10 and go up as high as +15.
FUT CHAMPIONS CHANNEL
What is FUT Champions Channel?
Replay and watch games from the Top 200 finishers each Weekend League on the Champions Channel.

We can’t remove replays from the channel.
Can I upload my highlights to the channel?

I don’t see replays or I’m having trouble watching them. What’s up?

You can see controller overlays to the Champions Channel this means that you can see which buttons each player is pressing in every scenario of play.
