When Does Champs Start And End In EA FC 26?
Following a model similar to previous FC titles, EA FC 26‘s Champions runs weekly from Friday at 10 AM PT / 6 PM GMT to Thursday at 12 AM PT / 8 AM GMT. To unlock the ability to play it, you must be in at least Division 6 and have 1,000 Qualification Points. Points can be acquired by either winning Rivals matches or via select Objectives during promos.
If you are not a hardcore player, though, we highly recommend taking up the challenge either on Sunday or Monday, as the first days of FUT Champions can only be described as carnage. When playing on PC or with Cross Play enabled, waiting can also help you avoid most hackers.
