This year has a lot of new changes that we\u2019re really excited about so to help ease you into it, we\u2019re going to break it up into the following sections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>FUT Division Rivals<\/strong><br>&nbsp; Division Rivals becomes the premier game mode for those looking to prove their skills and qualify for competitions in the FIFA Global Series.<\/li><li><strong>A New Generation<br><\/strong>&nbsp; FGS 22 moves from the last generation of consoles to PlayStation 5 for the most advanced FIFA yet.<\/li><li><strong>Duo Global Series Ecosystem<br><\/strong>&nbsp; Team-based play enters the Global Series for the first time as both FUT Champions Cups will feature 2v2 competition with four players on the pitch at once.<\/li><li><strong>Solo Global Series Ecosystem<\/strong><br>&nbsp; An avenue to showcase your skills 1v1 will remain as players compete on the Road to the FIFAe World Cup\u2122.<\/li><li><strong>New Countries<\/strong><br>&nbsp; We have 16 new countries joining us this season!<\/li><li><strong>FGS Swaps<br><\/strong>&nbsp; FGS Swaps and other viewership rewards return<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/fifa-22-global-series.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33306\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration &amp; FUT Division Rivals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we get to the really cool stuff, we should make a few things clear for those who want to prove they deserve to stand among the best. FUT Division Rivals has had a complete makeover and it\u2019s where we\u2019ll be looking for the next generation of FIFA stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To take part in either the Solo or Duo competitions, you\u2019ll want to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Register and accept the Official Rules on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/games\/fifa\/compete\/fgs-22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIFA Global Series website<\/a> starting October 4th, 2021 and ending December 31st, 2021<\/li><li>Compete in FUT Division Rivals, reach the Elite Division, and climb the ranks<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your FUT Divisions Rivals Elite Tier Skill Rating at the end of each FUT Division Rivals season is what determines your eligibility for online competitions like the FGS Open and FGS Qualifiers. Additionally, highly ranked registered players may receive additional perks like access to the Competitive Game Mode and early registration for the open bracket of the Team of the Season Cup. Remember, FUT Division Rivals as well as matches in the Competitive Game Mode will all use the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/games\/fifa\/fifa-22\/news\/pitch-notes-fifa-22-gameplay-deep-dive?isLocalized=true#master-switch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Competitive Settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Console Generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full year after the release of a new generation of consoles, FIFA esports is ready to make the move. All online and offline competitions run by EA will be offered exclusively on PlayStation 5. With the scale of the events that we aspire to put on, one single unified platform for play with support from the platform owner is integral to success. PlayStation was chosen as our partner for this based on their historic support of FIFA esports and to retain familiarity for our global FUT Champions Verified playerbase, the vast majority of whom are on PlayStation consoles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualification for online tournaments will be handled through the combined PlayStation FUT Rivals rankings, but the Competitive game mode used in tournaments will only be available on newer generation hardware.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2v2 Team Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/2v2-team-play.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33307\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this upcoming season, we will embrace the social core of FIFA with an entire series of events focused on team-based competition. These are the events to be aware of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Series Open<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FIFA Global Series Open consists of 16 online tournaments taking place from December 8th to 12th, 2021 with the following maximum team count:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Buenos Aires Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Dubai Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Frankfurt Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Johannesburg Open &#8211; 32 Teams<\/li><li>Madrid Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Mexico City Open &#8211; 64 Teams<\/li><li>Miami Open &#8211; 64 Teams<\/li><li>Milan Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Paris Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Portland Open &#8211; 64 Teams<\/li><li>Sao Paulo Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Singapore Open &#8211; 64 Teams<\/li><li>Stockholm Open &#8211; 128 Teams<\/li><li>Sydney Open &#8211; 32 Teams<\/li><li>Tokyo Open &#8211; 32 Teams<\/li><li>Washington Open &#8211; 64 Teams<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The winner of each of the 16 Opens will earn a seat at the Team of the Year Cup, the first FUT Champions Cup of the year. To participate in the Global Series Open, the team captain of each team must play well in the first FUT Division Rivals season of the year ending on November 11th, 2021. The top ranked registered players at the end of the season in each region will receive an invitation to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team of the Year Cup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 16 teams from the Global Series Open will join 16 invited teams with a long history of successful results in the FIFA Global Series. If conditions allow, the Team of the Year Cup will be our first in-person global competition in two years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The winning team of the Team of the Year Cup will earn a seat at the FIFAe Club World Cup 2022\u2122 and the top 16 teams will also reserve themselves a spot in the Group Stage of the Team of the Season Cup in the spring, our biggest event of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll be able to watch the entire competition on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitch.tv\/easportsfifa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/eafifaesports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> from January 21st &#8211; 23rd, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team of the Season Cup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Team of the Season Cup will consist of a Group Stage, a Championship Bracket, and if conditions allow, a large in-person 256 team open bracket. The Team of the Season Cup will be our largest celebration of FIFA yet and we hope to see everyone either in person or on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitch.tv\/easportsfifa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/eafifaesports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> from April 29th to May 1st, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Group Stage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 16 teams from the Team of the Season Cup will start the tournament in the Group Stage and be divided into 4 round robin groups. Each group will consist of 5 teams with the last spot left open for a team from the Open Bracket. Based on finish, teams will earn a spot in the Championship Bracket as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1st &amp; 2nd in each group will earn a seat in the Winner\u2019s Bracket<\/li><li>3rd in each group will earn a seat in the Loser\u2019s Bracket Round 3<\/li><li>4th in each group will earn a seat in the Loser\u2019s Bracket Round 2<\/li><li>5th in each group will earn a seat in the Loser\u2019s Bracket Round 1<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open Bracket<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The on-site Open Bracket will consist of 256 teams and feature open registration. Some players may receive priority registration if they meet certain criteria such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Top finishers in the latest season of FUT Division Rivals<\/li><li>Placement in Online Tournaments<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Open Bracket will be a double elimination bracket. The four last remaining teams in the Winner\u2019s Bracket will earn a spot in the Group Stage. The four last remaining teams in the Loser\u2019s Bracket will earn a spot in Loser\u2019s Bracket Round 1 of the Championship Bracket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Championship Bracket<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Championship Bracket will consist of 24 teams and determine the overall winner of the event. 8 teams will start in the Winner\u2019s Bracket and 16 teams in various stages of the Loser\u2019s Bracket. The Championship Bracket will determine the overall winner of the event with the winner also earning a direct invitation to the FIFAe Club World Cup, the same as the winner of the Team of the Year Cup earlier in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two teams qualified for the FIFAe Club World Cup will be joined by 22 other clubs qualified via the FIFAe Club Series 2022\u2122. Further information is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/fifa.gg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIFA.GG<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Team of the Season Cup\u2019s format is subject to change based on direction from local health authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Road to the FIFAe World Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1456\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-road-to-the-fifae-world-cup.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33308\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although there\u2019s a strong team emphasis with our FUT Champions Cup events and the FIFAe Club World Cup, we still want to leave room for individual achievement and pave a Road to the FIFAe World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online Qualifiers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be four online qualifiers in every region this year. Players will earn Global Series Points towards their regional rankings on <a href=\"https:\/\/fifa.gg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIFA.GG<\/a>. At the end of the season, the top players in each region\u2019s rankings leaderboard will be invited to the Global Series Playoffs to join the top finishing players of partner league and federation events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This season, we\u2019ve split regions up into more manageable divisions to improve the gameplay experience. Below you\u2019ll see the list of this season\u2019s regions and the maximum number of players per qualifier in each. For more information on which of the following regions your country belongs to, please check out Appendix B of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/en-us\/games\/fifa\/compete\/fgs-22\/official-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Rules<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Europe East &#8211; 256<\/li><li>Europe West &#8211; 256<\/li><li>LatAm South &#8211; 256<\/li><li>LatAm North &#8211; 128<\/li><li>Middle East &#8211; 128<\/li><li>North America &#8211; 128<\/li><li>Africa &#8211; 32<\/li><li>Asia North &#8211; 32<\/li><li>Asia South &#8211; 32<\/li><li>Oceania &#8211; 32<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online Qualifiers with 32 or fewer players will be run in a Double Elimination format. Qualifiers with more players will have a Swiss stage followed by a Single Elimination stage. We understand the community\u2019s strong desire for Swiss and are excited to bring this back. Unfortunately we\u2019re unable to pair Swiss with double elimination this year as it would leave us unable to complete the tournament over two days without requiring 10+ matches per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players will receive Global Series Points depending on their finish. Only the top finishing players in the elimination stage of each tournament will receive Global Series Points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online Qualifiers will take place on the following dates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>November 27th to 28th, 2021<\/li><li>February 12th to 13th, 2022<\/li><li>April 16th to 17th, 2022<\/li><li>Late May and Early June, 2022<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squad building requirements may vary from event to event and will be made available to players in advance of each Online Qualifier and the FGS Open. Players must play in the same Qualifier all year, tied to the country of residence upon registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">League Events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A defining part of the FIFA Global Series is the ability to compete in and represent your favourite club in your domestic league. Our league partners will announce their esports plans over the coming days, weeks, and months. By competing, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to earn a seat at the Global Series Playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CONMEBOL eLibertadores and UEFA eChampions League events will also return to South America and Europe respectively. We\u2019ll have more details on both events in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Series Playoffs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final step before the FIFAe World Cup is the Global Series Playoffs. Roughly half of the participants for the Global Series Playoffs will earn their way there through their domestic league and federation programs. The other half will come from the Regional Rankings. Early next year, we will have a finalized number of participants from each region, but we would expect about 16 players from each of the Europe West, Europe East, and LatAm South regions to qualify for Playoffs through the Rankings with 2 &#8211; 4 from each of the other regional leaderboards. This number is based on the number of FUT Champions Verified players from previous years in the countries that make up each region. We will have a total of 128 players at the Global Series Playoffs through a combination of the Rankings and League Events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Global Series Playoffs will find 32 players who will qualify for the FIFAe World Cup. The 128 players will compete until 32 players are remaining, at which point, play will stop and we will have our FIFAe World Cup competitors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newly Eligible Countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year we evaluate new countries to add to the Global Series so that residents of as many places as possible can compete. Not all of the places we investigated are ready for inclusion just yet, but we can confirm that the following new additions will be able to participate this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bosnia &amp; Herzegovina<\/li><li>Cyprus<\/li><li>Dominican Republic<\/li><li>El Salvador<\/li><li>Georgia<\/li><li>Ghana<\/li><li>Honduras<\/li><li>Kazakhstan<\/li><li>Kenya<\/li><li>Latvia<\/li><li>Lebanon<\/li><li>Mongolia<\/li><li>Nigeria<\/li><li>Panama<\/li><li>Serbia<\/li><li>Trinidad &amp; Tobago<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch More, Earn More.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have an exciting evolution to our Live Viewership Rewards program for the FIFA 22 Global Series. In addition to the return of the highly popular FGS Swap Tokens, you will also be able to earn more rewards the more you watch the eligible events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the first time, you will be able to earn up to five rewards per eligible event. The rewards include one FGS Swap Token and a selection of FIFA 22 Global Series cosmetic items for your FUT club.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike last year, this season there will be a single release of FGS Swaps Tokens and their corresponding SBCs that will remain live throughout the FUT 22 cycle. The FGS Swaps rewards are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>SBC (Repeatable)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Token Requirements<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rewards (Untradeable)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A<\/td><td>1 Token<\/td><td>Premium Gold Pack<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>B<\/td><td>2 Tokens<\/td><td>Premium Gold Players Pack<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>C<\/td><td>3 Tokens<\/td><td>Prime Gold Players Pack<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>D<\/td><td>4 Tokens<\/td><td>Jumbo Rare Players Pack<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>E<\/td><td>5 Tokens<\/td><td>Ultimate Pack<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look out for more information on FIFA 22 Competitive Gaming Viewership rewards coming out in the next few weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/fifa-23-all-official-pre-order-bonus-and-release-date-revealed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fifaultimateteam.it\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pre-order-fifa-23-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48227\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>FIFA 22<\/strong> is available from <strong>October 1st<\/strong> on <strong>PlayStation 5<\/strong>,<strong> Xbox Series X<\/strong>, <strong>PlayStation 4<\/strong>, <strong>Xbox One<\/strong>, <strong>PC<\/strong>, <strong>Steam <\/strong>and <strong>Nintendo Switch<\/strong>.
