When does FUT Champs start in EA FC 24? Date confirmed

EA FC 24 brings a fresh twist to Champs, swapping Red Picks for equally valuable rewards. Dive into the details of the qualification process and how to secure these rewards.

A leak from EA FC 24 hinted at significant modifications to the Weekend League. Confirming the speculations, FC 24 has decided to eliminate Red Picks, which were the Player Pick packs containing cards from the ongoing TOTW.

EA explained: “By removing Champions Players from the default rewards lineup, we’ll be able to 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.”

The devs also announced an improvement to rewards for Rank 2 and above to “reward the best of the best each and every week.”

Without further ado, let’s jump right into whats different in EA FC 24.
