FUT Champions, FUT Champs, or Weekend League - whatever you refer to it as - the elite competition is back in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team.

The FUT Champs mode gives players a chance to really put their side to the test in a competitive format that offers big rewards.

Find out all there is to know about Weekend League in FIFA 23 below, including rewards, the schedule, how to qualify, and more.

What is FUT Champions?

FUT Champions is an online mode in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team where you have a limited number of games to earn as many points as possible.

Players will compete against one another and the more points you gain, the better the rewards will be.

There are a few stages to FUT Champions, with a couple of qualification steps needed to complete before entering the finals.

Qualification

You will earn FUT Champions Qualification Points by winning or drawing matches in Division Rivals.

The higher your Division, the more qualifying points you will earn.

STARTING THE GRIND - The road to the Finals begins in Division Rivals

These can then be redeemed for entry into FUT Champions Play-Off.

Unused points carry over to the following week.

Play-Offs

This is the first stage of FUT Champions proper, which can only be entered when you have earned the required Champions Qualification Points (1,500) in Rivals.

There are a limited number of Play-Off entries each FUT Season, which resets at the start of each new Season (approximately every six weeks).

You will be limited to 10 games to earn enough points (20) to earn entry to the Finals.

A win gets you four points, and a loss one, so you will need to get at least four wins from 10 matches to qualify.

This will earn you a Finals Qualification Token, which can be redeemed immediately or at a later date.

You will also earn rewards based on your Play-Offs rank, which is split as follows:

  • Rank 1: 40 points
  • Rank 2: 36-39 points
  • Rank 3: 32-35 points
  • Rank 4: 26-31 points
  • Rank 5: 20-25 points
  • Rank 6: 12-19 points
  • Rank 7: 4-11 points

Finals

Finals is the last stage of the FUT Champs process, and if you choose to redeem your Finals Qualification Token you will be entered into the next available weekend event in FIFA 23.

You will again have a limited number of matches - this time 20 - to earn as many points as possible, with four points for a win and one for a loss, as in Play-Offs.

Play-Offs

Play-Offs rewards are gained once you have completed all 10 matches, or you can choose to end your current Play-Offs early to gain them immediately.

Schedule

You will amass Champions Qualification Points whenever you earn points in Division Rivals, and there is no restriction on when they can be gained.

Similarly - once you have enough points - you can enter Play-Offs at any time, and have until the end of the current FUT Season to complete the allocated matches.

MANAGE YOUR TIME WELL - You have a limited period to play the Finals event

However, the Finals events take place between 3am ET / 8am BST on Fridays and 3am ET / 8am BST on Mondays.

This means you only have the weekend to complete your 20 matches, hence the name Weekend League.

Finals events can have their period extended or altered, so make sure you stay on top of any changes by following the FIFA Direct Communication Twitter account.

Matchmaking

Matchmaking occurs in FUT Champions Play-Offs and Finals, and is based on three things:

  1. Your location
  2. Your current form
  3. Your platform (this is considered when cross-play is enabled)

Form Explained

Form is used to match you with a player that has a similar score as you.

At the start of Play-Offs and Finals, you have a form score of 0.

For every win, you get +1 added to your score, and for a loss -1.

In Play-Offs your form can be scored between -8 and +8, and in Finals it is between -15 and +15.
