FIFA 18 – All information about FUT Champions and the Weekend League can be found here. What weekly and monthly rewards are there and when do you receive the prizes? How does the qualification process in the “Ultimate Team” mode (FUT 18) work on PS4, Xbox One, and PC?
FUT Champions is a lucrative online mode in FUT 18, where the best players can earn excellent rewards. In this mode, there are the best rewards available, but you need both skill and a lot of time invested if you want to reach the top prizes.
What is FUT Champions in FUT 18? How does the qualification for the Weekend League work?
FUT Champions is an entirely online mode where you compete against other players. It consists of two phases:
During the week, regular “Daily Knockout” tournaments take place. These may have different participation requirements. Win one of these tournaments to qualify for the Weekend League.
On weekends, the Weekend League takes place. In the Weekend League, you need to show the best performance possible to climb the rankings and secure good rewards.
Weekend League – Participation requirements and how many games does it have?
There are three ways to qualify for the Weekend League:
Win one of the “Daily Knockout” tournaments during the week.
Climb in “Online Season” in League 1.
Or reach at least a Gold rank in the previous Weekend League (as of February 2018, Silver 2 is sufficient). This allows you to directly participate in the next Weekend League.
If you qualify for the Weekend League, you need to play up to 40 games in the Weekend League within a few days. Win as many of them as possible to climb the rankings. You can always view your rank in the “Leaderboards”.
FUT Champions Schedule / Calendar – When do the Weekend League start and end?
The Weekend League is not available immediately upon the launch of FIFA 18. You need to know these dates:
From Monday to Friday, the Daily Knockout tournaments take place. These usually start on Mondays and Wednesdays and are available for two days.
The first Weekend League starts on October 6, 2017 (Friday) at 8 AM. It ends on October 9 (Monday) at 8 AM.
The second Weekend League starts on October 13 (Friday) at 8 AM and ends on October 16 (Monday) at 8 AM.
In short: The Weekend League takes place (almost) every week from Friday morning to Monday morning. In FIFA 17, there were a total of 43 Weekend League events. FUT Champions in FIFA 18 ends in early September 2018.
Weekend League Rewards – Get Weekly and Monthly Prizes
After each Weekend League, prizes are distributed and then the weekly leaderboards are reset. If you actively play FUT Champions for several weeks, you will also rise in a monthly leaderboard. This allows you to access the best prizes.
Weekly Weekend League Rewards – When do the prizes come?
You need to have played at least 5 games in the Weekend League to be eligible for rewards. The weekly prizes are delivered every Thursday between 7 PM and 8 PM. Sometimes the rewards may be delayed. You can open the earned packs at any time; they do not expire. The cards inside are “tradeable” – you can list them on the transfer market and sell them.
These are the ranks and the weekly rewards:
Bronze 1 (1 win out of a maximum of 40 wins) – 1000 coins and 2 Gold packs
