When does FC 24 FUT Champs start and end? 

FC 24 FUT Champions starts every Friday and ends on Tuesday. Although you can gain FUT Champions Qualification Points at any point while playing Division Rivals and can choose to enter Playoffs at any time, there is a restricted time period to play FUT Champions Finals in FC 24. This is where it has earned its alternate name of Weekend League. 

What time does FUT Champs end and start?

FUT Champs ends on Tuesday at 8 AM GMT, 12 AM PT, 3 AM ET. Then will start again on Friday at 8 AM GMT, 12 AM PT, 3 AM ET.

Note – The end time has been updated from the usual Mondays.

Throughout the Ultimate Team campaign, these times may get adjusted. This usually happens during the Team of the Season promo, where the start time is moved to 3pm ET / 8pm BST and the end time is set to Wednesdays at 3am ET / 8am BST. This allows players to gain the latest players released as part of their rewards. 

If there is any unexpected maintenance on the game or players are unable to access the mode, EA may also choose to extend the FUT Champions Finals end time. This will be announced in-game and via the official EA Sports FC Direct Communication account on X (formerly Twitter). 

FC 24 FUT Champs rewards 

FUT Champions rewards have been changed slightly in FC 24 Ultimate Team. The main difference is that Ultimate Team Champions Player Items, also known as Red Picks, have been replaced. Rewards of equivalent in-game value have been brought in instead of them, although Red Picks are said to return at various periods throughout the year.

EA says this change has been implemented so they can “focus on delivering more frequent changes to Champions rewards throughout the year, helping to keep them as a key avenue of growing your squad all season long”. 

Rewards for Rank 2 and above have also been updated. This is to better reward elite play, celebrating the best of the best each week.
