FIFA 23 FUT CHAMPIONS
FIFA 23 FUT Champions is an online competitive game mode where players try to reach the Finals and the highest rank possible.
FUT Champions Explained
FUT Champions is an online game mode that brings you the best head-to-head competition in the FIFA Ultimate Team. The most popular mode tests your skill across two stages of competition: the Play-Offs and the Finals.
The Champions
There is a limited number of Play-Off entries per FUT Season. This limit resets with the start of each new season, which usually occurs every six weeks.
The qualification for the FUT Champions
The Finals are the second stage of FUT Champions. Each campaign is open for 72 hours, from Friday to Monday, and you can play up to twenty matches against other qualified players.
As in the Play-Offs, you get four points for each win and one for each loss. The more points you get, the highest you will rank (there are ten ranks), and the better your rewards.
Based on how many points you make on your Play-Offs and Finals, you receive rewards at the end of your campaign. The rewards can be packs, FUT coins, and FUT Champions Player Picks.

Play-Off and Finals Champions Rewards are based on your total points in each stage of the competition: +4 for each win; +1 for each loss.

Matchmaking in FIFA 23 FUT Champions Play-Offs and Finals is based on two things:
The second key piece to matchmaking is location. Players are matched based on location and proximity to EA’s dedicated game servers to ensure quality matches.
- Your location.
It determines which dedicated FIFA Game Data Center location will be used for your match. - Your current Form in Play-Offs or Finals.

The second key piece to matchmaking is location. Players are matched based on location and proximity to EA’s dedicated game servers to ensure quality matches.
Your Form in FUT Champions Play-Offs and Finals (respectively) is a record of all the matches you have played in the current competition. You start every competition with your Form at 0, which changes based on your results.
Here’s an example. Say the results of your first five games of a Play-Offs run were W/L/L/W/W. Your Form after those five matches would end up at +1. That’s because you gain +1 for each win and lose -1 for each.
Before your first match, your Form is at 0. You won the first match, so you earn 1. Form now at +1. You lost the second match, so you lose 1. Form now at 0. You lost the third match, so you lose another 1. Form now at -1. You win the fourth match, so you earn 1. Form now at 0 again. You win the fifth match, so you earn 1 more. Form now at +1 again. That means going into your sixth match; your current Form would be +1.
In FUT Champions Play-Offs, your Form can be as low as -8 and as high as +8. In FUT Champions Finals, your Form can be as low as -15 and as high as +15.
