What Time Do Division Rivals Rewards Get Released in EA FC 26?

The Division Rivals game mode is one of the most popular in EA FC 26, as it allows you to pit your team against another random player online. The more wins you get, the higher you'll climb in the divisions and the better rewards you'll get each week.

Division Rivals rewards are released at 12am PT/ 3am ET/ 8am UK time/ 9am CET every Thursday. At this time, your points will be reset, and you'll need to grind through the Reward Tiers again to improve the 'quality' of your rewards for the following week.

Any packs you've earned from the previous week will then be available for you to open via the EA FC 26 mobile app, or in the game by visiting the 'Store' tab.

What Time Do Squad Battles Rewards Get Released in EA FC 26?

Squad Battles is less popular than Division Rivals, partially because its rewards aren't as good, and also because playing against the AI isn't quite as fun as playing against another player online. Still, if you're happy to grind out about 18 games against the AI opponent each week, you can still rack up some pretty good rewards for your time.

Squad Battles rewards are released at 12am PT/ 3am ET/ 8am UK time/ 9am CET every Sunday in EA FC 26. Similar to Division Rivals, your weekly points will be reset and you'll need to play another 16 matches to earn more rewards for the following week.

Beat the Featured Squad Battle and Team of the Week teams each week. These teams earn you twice the amount of points beating other teams will.

What Time Do Champs Rewards Get Released in EA FC 26?

The Champions game mode, commonly referred to in the community as Champs for short, is the most competitive game mode in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team, but it also comes with the best rewards on offer. Not only can you get a lot of rare packs, you can also get a guaranteed Team of the Week player pack.

Champs rewards are added to your account as soon as you've completed your 15 matches for that week. If you don't finish all 15 of your matches, then you'll receive your rewards once that week's FUT Champs is over, which is typically around 10pm ET on the following Monday. FUT Champs runs from around 1pm ET on the Friday over the weekend until late on Monday.

It's worth noting that there are requirements for entering Champions. You'll need to have reached at least Division 6 in the Rivals game mode, and have also earned 1,000 Champions Qualification points, which are earned by winning games in Rivals.

Champs rewards give you the best chance of netting yourself some of the best players in the game, many of which are also some of the fastest players.

The first weekend of Champions won't take place until October 3. This allows players who have the standard edition (due to release on Sept. 26) to grind out their Rivals wins and reach Division 6.
