FUT Champs FIFA 23 format explained
After a major overhaul to FUT Champs in FIFA 22, the format has remained largely unchanged for FIFA 23.
Therefore if you played FUT Champs in FIFA 22 then you’ll already be familiar with the format, but we’ll provide a quick explainer for any new non-returning players.
FUT Champs is made up of two stages: Champions Play-Offs and Champion’s Finals (previously known as Weekend League).
However, in order to access the Champions Play-Offs, you need to earn Champions Qualification Points (CQP) from FUT’s Division Rivals mode. Once you earn 1500 CQP you will be automatically entered into the Play-Offs.
Champions Play-Offs
The point-earning doesn’t end there, however – you’ll next have to earn 20 points over the next 10 matches to qualify for the Champions Finals, with each win worth four points and each loss resulting in one point.
You’ll therefore need to win at least four out of the 10 matches. You’ll then earn a Finals Qualification Token, which can be redeemed immediately or at a later weekend.
Champions Finals
All this however was just to get to the Champions Finals – now the real competition begins. From 8am BST on Friday morning to 8am BST on Monday morning, you have 20 matches to earn as many points as possible.
The point system works the same as in the Play-Offs – four points for a win and one point for a loss.
Once you complete 20 matches or the Champions Finals period ends, you will then be able to claim your rewards.
