If you’re an Ultimate Team player, then the one highlight of your week is probably going to be FUT Champions, the weekly weekend competition where you can earn some incredible rewards. Once you’ve qualified for the weekend league, it’s just a matter of waiting for the event to begin. So if you’re wondering what time FUT Champs is scheduled to start every week, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll tell you when the weekend league begins and ends, as well as when you can expect to receive your rewards.

When does FUT Champs start?

FC 25 FUT Champions Finals begins every Friday at 8am GMT / 3am EDT / 12am PDT. If you played FC 24, then you’ll already be used to this timeframe as it’s the exact same as last year’s game, and from that time onwards you can start playing your FUT Champs matches.

Thankfully, the 20 games you had to play in FC 24 have been reduced to only 15 in FC 25, meaning you don’t have to play anywhere near as many games to get your rewards. Once you complete your final game, you’ll immediately be able to claim any rewards you earned over the weekend, while if you don’t complete all 15 matches, you’ll be able to claim them once the event ends on Monday morning.

Of course, if you’ve got the time it’s always worth finishing all 15 of your matches. Even if you don’t get wins, the points you get might get you an extra rank and a slightly better reward, whether that’s more qualification points for next week’s FUT Champs event or more and better packs for a chance to pack some of the best players in the game.

When does FUT Champs end?

FUT Champions Finals will finish every week on Monday morning at 8am GMT / 3am EDT / 12am PDT, giving you exactly three days to finish all your games. After that, you’ll have to wait for the next chance to participate. Note the start times above and plan accordingly.
